Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethan's difficulty with selecting and sequencing speech despite knowing what he wants to say is consistent with acquired apraxia, which is a motor speech disorder resulting from damage to the areas of the brain responsible for planning and coordinating the movements required for speech. Dysarthria involves difficulty with the actual articulation of speech sounds, stuttering involves repetitive or prolonged sounds or syllables, and acquired aphasia involves difficulty with language comprehension and production.
