Then we worked to find some consonant- vowel combinations she could produce, such as “ba” and “bee.” Then I used my bouncy ball and a wind-up bee in this manner: I wound up the bee and held it so Jasmine could see it, got her attention, cued her to use her lips by touching my own, and said “bee.” The second she imitated ‘’bee,” I released the toy and it “walked” toward her. What we first did with Jasmine was warm up her imitation ability with non-speech muscle movements such as clapping, waving, and tapping the table. It is my experience that these children know early on that talking is hard and will try to avoid it. She was initially very reluctant to attempt imitation of sounds and words which is very typical. She also used noises like animal and vehicle sounds. When I met Jasmine, she was using just a few single words but had many gestures which she used to communicate. Children with apraxia of speech are sometimes very creative as two year olds, developing numerous intricate gestures to refer to specific objects, needs, and situations. When they do talk, these children will often use very short sentences, will omit many initial consonants, especially “y, l, r,” and may, if asked to say the same word three times in a row, say it differently each time. Typically, children with childhood apraxia of speech will be delayed in talking because it is so difficult to put sounds and syllables together. The brain usually knows what it wants to say but the message gets twisted on its way from the brain to the muscles of the articulation structures (lips, tongue, soft palate).
