Have you got Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech? Let's connect
Are you living with Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech? Sometimes it's called progressive apraxia of speech or PPAOS. It reflects difficulty with speaking quickly and accurately. It may start with a simple word you can’t pronounce. Your tongue and lips stumble, and gibberish comes out. It can sometimes occur by itself (speech is the only problem) or develop into other neurologic syndromes like corticobasal syndrome or progressive supranuclear palsy.
On Connect we would like to bring together people who have been affected by PPAOS and provide a space to share your experiences and provide tips for managing it. Patients and family members are welcome.
Grab a cup of tea, or beverage of your choice, and let's connect. Why not start by introducing yourself?
