10 Apraxia Symptoms
Symptom #6: Speech Inconsistencies
Patients with apraxia, especially children, may experience speech inconsistencies where there are vowel and consonant distortions, voicing errors, and separation of syllables between words. For example, the word “pie” can sound as if they are saying “bye.”
These individuals also have difficulty moving from one syllable, word, or sound to another. There is also improper stressing in a word where the word “banana” is pronounced as “buh-nan-uh” instead of “buh-NAN-uh.” There can also be equal emphasis on all syllables resulting in “BUH-NAN-UH.” Other speech inconsistencies include making different errors when they are trying to say the same word multiple times.
