Why is it important?
The underlying nature of apraxia of speech is inconsistently portrayed in the literature as a "planning/programming", or as a "planning or programming", or as a "planning and programming" disorder. This articles aims to clear up this confusion and explains the nature of apraxia of speech as a motor planning disorder.
Perspectives
This article is a timely update of the phases in the preparation of the speech code and augments my previous accounts published in 1997 and 2009 in the book edited by M. R. McNeil, Clinical Management of Sensorimotor Speech Disorders (Chapter 1).
