Dyspraxia, also called apraxia, is a general term for unusual difficulty planning and carrying out motor movements. Apraxics have no detectable problems with muscles or other physical abnormalities and the difficulties producing speech in verbal apraxics are not explained simply by a language delay. This page is specifically about apraxia/dyspraxia as it applies to speech. For more information about dyspraxia as well as Developmental Coordination Disorder, please see the dyspraxia page in the motor disorders section.
