I wanted to add one more thing to what I posted. Some years ago, in my former neighborhood there were 3 brothers. The youngest spoke like he had marbles in his mouth. He was around 8. Apraxia for sure (now that I can put a name to it). The only people who understood him was his family. No one knew what the heck he was saying.

Well....fast forward 20 or so years and I met up with him one day. He spoke just fine. I didn't bring anything up but what the h? How can you go from speaking like you have marbles in your mouth to speaking perfectly fine. I have no idea if this child had speech therapy because this happened over 30 years ago but wow, such an amazing difference.

Right now as I view yet another video, I'm watching him (whenever he tries to speak) and it's like he has marbles in his mouth. What kind of therapy do these speech language pathologist do to get them to finally speak coherently? Thanks much
