Abstract
Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is considered an impairment of motor control in speech or praxis. Most researchers agree that the basic deficit for children with CAS is a reduced or degraded ability to convert abstract phonological codes into motor vocal commands, called motor planning and/or programming. The objective of our study is identifying possible differences in the severity of symptoms in children with apraxia of speech depending on the dynamics of the parent-child relationship (conflict, positive aspects and dependency). To achieve this objective, questionnaires were developed and administered to parents of children with CAS. The results revealed statistically significant differences, p<0.05. Our results can be used within complex intervention programs.
