My son is Ian is three and has severe verbal apraxia. Until about a month ago, he said basically nothing. On his third birthday, he couldn’t pronounce his own name properly. He just called himself “eee”.
Apraxia is a short circuit between the brain and the mouth that affects all motor activities, including speech. Ian also can’t blow bubbles or candles on a cake. We had to teach him how to kiss. Even smiling was difficult. The bottom part of his face is a foreign land, and Ian doesn’t have a passport.
