Apraxia vs dyspraxia

Apraxia vs dyspraxia are usually related to diseases that affect the left inferior parietal lobe, the frontal lobes or the corpus callosum. Stroke and dementia are of the most common causes but even tumors which affect these parts of the brain, can cause Apraxia or dyspraxia. Apraxia and dyspraxia cause loss of knowledge about performing skills of speech and movements.

Apraxia and autism

Apraxia and autism are completely different disorders, and can occur in a child independently of one another, or even together in the same child. Autism's symptoms can impact many different systems, behaviors, and thought patterns in the child. Apraxia affects the child's voluntary physical movement and speech.
