APRAXIA (PPAOS)
@elizabethlewis2852
This Beth, 72 years old, I am lived Florida.
I am retired an Architect and as Professor on 'Architecture on Spring 2020.
In Fall 2019, was I lectured my book about Sustainable Design, I cant speak long words on my book.
I visited Neurologist in my city for 2 years, the Neurologist said he doesn't the name of my disease after 2 years.
I went to Mayo Clinic on Jax. on Spring 2022, the first appt the neurologist said I have a Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech.
My speech is declined over the last year. I was going to Speech Therapy 2 x week.
I recorded my voice on Acapela and I learned to TD Snap and TD Talk, a bit little. I learned to Personal Voice on my iphone, a bit little.
I think I can slight on Aphrasia.
I am looking forward for discussions on Support Group on Apraxia.

Welcome, @elizabethlewis2852. You've found the right place for a support group on apraxia. As a professor, not being able to lecture on your area of expertise and no longer being able to speak the longer terms used in your book must've been a shock. I can only imagine that it was both a shock and a relief to get the name Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech to describe what you are experiencing.
Do you still see a speech therapist? What tip would you offer to people about using technolobgy like TD Talk and Personal Voice? Do they work for you?
