Apraxia
Treatment of Apraxia
Treatment of the cause Physical and occupational therapy The disorder causing apraxia is treated if possible. There is no specific treatment for apraxia. Physical and occupational therapy may help some people with apraxia learn to compensate for their losses. But the main use of these therapies is to make the environment safer and to provide devices that help people function better. Verbal apraxia can help people who have verbal apraxia by asking them to practice making sound patterns over and over. If verbal apraxia is severe, people may be taught to use a letter or picture board or a electronic communication device with a keyboard and message display.
