Did you know?.....
	Stuttering appears to frequently run in families. There is also evidence that stuttering may be closely associated with some neurological deficits. Quite often, psychological components may make symptoms appear worse or even better in some cases.

Apraxia of Speech
	Apraxia is a motor-planning disorder in which the brain sends a signal to the articulators involved for speech (lips, tongue, and jaw), however, when the signal travels from the brain to the articulators, it somehow becomes scrabbled. Children with Apraxia are often seen exhibiting "groping" behavior in which they have difficulty placing the articulators in the appropriate position for speech.
