Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Henry's difficulty with selecting and sequencing speech is consistent with acquired apraxia. Dysarthria involves difficulty with muscle control resulting in slurred speech. Stuttering involves repeating or prolonging sounds or words. Acquired aphasia involves difficulty with language comprehension and production, but may not necessarily involve difficulty with motor planning and execution of speech.
