A person who has a stroke, an accident or birth defect may have speech and language problems. [6]
Developmental verbal dyspraxia, also known as childhood apraxia of speech, is a developmental motor speech disorder involving impairments in the motor control of speech production. [140] The speech of a child with developmental verbal dyspraxia may be unintelligible to the point that daily communication needs cannot be met.
