Apraxia of Speech AOS is a motor speech disorder affecting an individual s ability to translate conscious speech plans into motor plans and is caused by illness or injury in adults. Like other apraxia s, it only affects volitional movement patterns. In children, Childhood Apraxia of Speech, Dyspraxia of speech, verbal apraxia, and other terms, are used to describe difficulty in planning and programming speech movements. Childhood Apraxia of Speech Childhood Apraxia of Speech CAS is the the term used most widely to describe difficulty in planning and programming speech movements in children. CAS is considered to be a neurological speech disorder that can occur by itself, along with other neuro developmental disorders such as autism, mitochondrial disorders, etc. , or due to accident or illness. CAS can range from mild to very severe. Children with apraxia of speech, in early stages of speech development, are likely to need intensive, individual, and frequent speech therapy in order to become intelligible speakers. According to the Childhood Apraxia of Speech Association of North America, with proper help, children with apraxia of speech can make great strides in speech, language and communication with appropriate help, and in many cases they can achieve progress to the point that no one could tell that they had a severe speech disorder. However, often, other speech, language, and learning difficulties co occur with this speech disorder. Stroke associated Stroke associated AOS is the most common form of AOS with about 60 of all AOS cases reported.

Motor Speech Disorders are disturbances of the body s natural, yet complex, ability to convey thoughts and emotions via the act of speaking. These disturbances vary in their etiology based on the integrity and integration of cognitive, neuromuscular, and muskuloskeletal activities. In other words, speaking is an act dependent on thought and timed execution of airflow and oral motor oral placement of the lips, tongue, and jaw that can be disrupted by weakness in oral musculature dysarthria or an inability to execute motoric movements needed for specific speech sound production apraxia . Said deficits can be related to pathology of the nervous system central and or peripheral systems involved in motor planning that affect the timing of respiration,phonation, prosody, and articulation in isolation or in conjunction. Dysarthria Dysarthria is the reduced ability to motor plan volitional movements needed for speech production as the result of weakness paresis and or paralysis of the musculature of the oral mechanism needed for respiration, phonation, resonance, articulation, and or prosody.

Image Liepmann.jpg right thumb Hugo Liepmann Hugo Karl Liepmann April 9, 1863 May 6, 1925 was a German neurologist and psychiatrist who was a native of Berlin . From 1895 to 1899 he was an assistant to Carl Wernicke in Breslau , and in 1901 received his habilitation at the Charit Berlin. From 1914 to 1920 he was director of the Herzberge asylum in Berlin. Liepmann is remembered for his pioneer work involving cerebrum cerebral localization of function. From anatomy anatomical studies, he postulated that planned or commanded actions were controlled in the parietal lobe of the brain s dominant hemisphere, and not in the frontal lobe . Beginning in 1900, he began extensive work with a disorder he called apraxia . Apraxia is the inability to act or move different parts of the body in a purposeful manner, even though the physical capability of movement is normal. Liepmann believed that damage in the parietal lobe prevented activation of learned sequences of actions that are necessary to produce desired results on command. As a result of his studies, he divided apraxia into three types ideational object blindness, where the patient is incapable of making appropriate use of familiar objects upon command. ideomotor the inability to follow verbal commands or mimic an action, such as saluting or waving goodbye. kinetic energy kinetic clumsiness in performing a precision act that is not due to paralysis , muscle weakness, or sensory loss.

The Wade test is a neurological test performed by surgeon s and neurologist s, to determine whether a patient is left cerebral cortex cortical hemisphere dominant or right cortical hemisphere dominant. Most individuals about 95 of the time ref name james who are right handed are left cortical hemisphere dominant, while about 10 of individuals who are left handed, are right cortical hemisphere dominant. The dominance refers to the cortex where often propositional language centers such as Broca s area located in pars opercularis and pars triangularis of the frontal lobe responsible for generation of speech, Wernicke s area located in superior temporal gyrus , responsible for comprehension of speech, and other motor and somatosensory areas are located. The dominant hemisphere is therefore responsible for language, and comprehension of speech. The test involves injection of sodium amobarbital Amytal ref name james cite book title Neuroanatomy Board Review Series author James D. Fix edition 4 publisher Wolter Kluwer Health Lippincott Williams & Wilkins pages 304 year 2008 Baltimore ISBN 9780781772457 ref , an anesthetic into the patient s common carotid artery carotid artery on the suspected dominant side, and then evaluating patient for speech and language comprehension. Any form of aphasia difficulty in speech whether broca s aphasia non fluent , wernicke s aphasia fluent , or conduction aphasia conduction would indicate that the side into which Amytal was injected was in fact the dominant cerebral cortex .

Speech delay , also known as alalia , refers to a delay in the development or use of the mechanisms that produce speech. Speech communication Speech , as distinct from language , refers to the actual process of making sounds, using such organs and structures as the lungs, vocal cords, mouth, tongue, teeth, etc. Language delay refers to a delay in the development or use of the knowledge of language. Because language and speech are two independent stages, they may be individually delayed. For example, a child may be delayed in speech i.e., unable to produce intelligible speech sounds , but not delayed in language. In this case, the child would be attempting to produce an age appropriate amount of language, but that language would be difficult or impossible to understand. Conversely, since a child with a language delay typically has not yet had the opportunity to produce speech sounds, it is likely to have a delay in speech as well.

Localizationist neurology and clinical descriptions reached a peak in the late 19th and early 20th century, with work extending into the clinical descriptions of dementias by Alois Alzheimer and Arnold Pick . The work of Karl Lashley in rats for a time in the early to mid 20th century put a damper on localization theory and lesion models of behavioral function. In the United States, the work of Norman Geschwind led to a renaissance of behavioral neurology.
