10 Dyspraxia Symptoms
Symptom #6: Delayed Language Development
In children with dyspraxia, their speech may be unintelligible or immature during their early years as there is delayed language development. This may be due to their difficulty of coordinating movements required in the production of spoken language or proper phonation resulting in persisting speech difficulties. This is also known as developmental verbal dyspraxia and may either occur in isolation or together with other general motor issues.
Children with dyspraxia who experience speech or language difficulties should see a speech and language therapist as soon as possible. The therapist will assess, identify, and help with rehabilitation and support of the child.
