Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Verbal dyspraxia is a specific developmental language disorder that is characterised by a deficit at different levels of speech processing: in phonological planning, in phonetic planning and in the implementation of the speech motor programme. DEVELOPMENT: In this study we review the criteria for differential diagnosis, the tests that are useful to achieve this and the possible lines of speech therapy treatment.
