Early Signs of Apraxia Of Speech in Children, Pt 3

We also see reduced or delayed babbling. About babbling. There's two types. The first type is that it's very simple, just a concept of ba. But later on, some people call it like a reduplicated babbling, which is like ba ba ba ba ba ba ba b. And it's like many syllables. If you see that your child doesn't do as much of that, that might also be an early sign. But obviously this can be an early sign for everything. You can see that they're less loud than most children. In fact, I've seen this with most of the apraxic cases that I've ever had the honor to treat. And they don't really vocalize that often. They also have a restricted syllable and word shape, meaning they only use some sort of, like, syllabic structure. And so if a child has apraxia, most of the times their syllable structures are made simpler. So they would get rid of some of the sounds here and there.
