Apraxia of Speech: The Effectiveness of a Treatment Regimen.

Dworkin, James Paul; And Others

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v53 n3 p280-94 Aug 1988

A treatment program is described which successfully improved the speech of a 57-year-old apraxic patient. The program was composed of physiologic (nonspeech) and phonetic (articulatory) tasks that began with oroneuromotor control activities and progressed to consonant-vowel syllable, word, and sentence drills, with all activities paced by a metronome.
