Why is it important?
The study provides a better understanding of the importance of considering language-specificity when diagnosing childhood apraxia of speech. It also offers guidance for future research on childhood apraxia of speech in languages other than English.
Perspectives
Conducting the study was an exciting collaboration among specialists from three countries - Estonia, Lithuania and Finland. Childhood Apraxia of Speech has predominantly been studied in English, making it particularly interesting to gain insights into how this speech diagnosis manifests in other languages. Hopefully, the survey results will inspire future cross-linguistic research but especially in the three aforementioned countries and languages.
