Have you got Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech? Let's connect

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?

I am doing speech therapy each week. I can’t speak. I used to speak with my iPhone's personal voice, speech assistant, or text-to-speech.
Dr Tanner said I could test the Amyloid PET, one last year.
I am new health insurance is moving.
I am moving from Tallahassee, FL to Falls Church, VA, next year, to be near my son and daughter.
I am new to health insurance and am moving to Virginia.
I HAVE QUESTION TO
DR RENE:
The Amyloid PET results in a large amount of amyloid!
Can I do the new health insurance if I test for higher amyloid? Or a higher premium?
Thanks to all!

I usually use the Personal Voice on iPhone,
I using my TD Snap, with figures, to record my family, careers, education, and etc.
I like the TD Talk because it easier to type, I hope the TD Dynavox will in future, has app TD Talk with iPhone.
Earlier months ago, I going speech therapy twice a week, at FSU speech communication and the private speech therapist.
