In the past I did not hear much of apraxia, but in my years of experience I noticed in some patients some characteristics that did not necessarily reflect a speech disorder. This is why I began to looking for information on apraxia and since then I have been training myself to offer services to patients with apraxia or a suspected diagnosis of apraxia of speech. Since then I have been able to work with patients with apraxia of speech and offer services according to the needs of each one.
