A member asked:

My 32mo son has apraxia of speech. eeg showed slow brain waves at the back of his brain. what does this mean? waiting for neuro to set

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not significant: At this age eeg is not helpful and should actually show posterior slowing of youth. Most boys this age have trouble producing speech but understand well. This is just a delay in good control of the mouth and is not a significant disability. Apraxia is just a term to describe awkward use of the mouth and tongue. It is a normal phase of speech development is many children.
