Part III: Other Problems Often Associated With the Disorder

Two previous letters written to the parent(s) of children with developmental apraxia of speech (DAS) shared information regarding the speech characteristics and the current thinking concerning the nature and causes of the disorder. A future letter will discuss treatment of DAS. However, children with DAS often seem to have problems in addition to those involving their speech production. This third letter discusses several of the problems that may co-occur with DAS, and includes an appendix of publications that can provide additional information concerning other problems that may be present with DAS.
