A Very Young Child Does not coo or babble as an infant First words are late, and they may be missing sounds         Only a few different consonant and vowel sounds.              Problems combining sounds; may show long pauses between sounds.          Simplifies words by replacing difficult sounds with easier ones or by deleting difficult sounds (although all children do this, the child with apraxia of speech does so more often) May have problems eating

Has difficulty imitating speech, but imitated speech is more clear than spontaneous speech.                                                                                                                                    May appear to be groping when attempting to produce sounds. Has more difficulty saying longer words or phrases clearly than shorter ones.                                     Appears to have more difficulty when he or she is anxiousIs hard to understand, especially for an unfamiliar listener
