The Hypothesis of Apraxia of Speech in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract: In a sample of 46 children aged 4 to 7 years with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and intelligible speech, there was no statistical support for the hypothesis of concomitant Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS). Perceptual and acoustic measures of participants' speech, prosody, and voice were compared with data from 40 typically-developing children, 13 preschool children with Speech Delay, and 15 participants aged 5 to 49 years with CAS in neurogenetic disorders. Speech Delay and Speech Errors, respectively, were … Show more

“…7 A recent study tested the hypothesis that comorbid CAS in autism explains, at least in part, the unusual speech, prosody, and voice behaviors reported in children with verbal autism. 24 Findings from a study of 46 patients with verbal autism whose genetic backgrounds were not assessed, did not support the hypothesis, with continuing studies focusing on the potential causal role of CAS in nonverbal autism. Clearly, such studies should include speech, prosody, and voice profiling of children with 16p11.2 microdeletions disrupting SEZ6L2 and DOC2A and possibly other deleted genes in the 16p11.2 deletion syndrome.…”

“…Readers unfamiliar with CAS can find additional information in a technically accessible tutorial on the types of motor speech disorders in idiopathic and complex neurodevelopmental contexts, including CAS. 24 Table 2 is a summary of the assessment findings for P1 and P2 that follow, including information in six domains associated with the CAS phenotype.…”

“…It is possible that the significant impairments in phonological and expressive language observed in this subset of children may be due to oral-motor difficulties. The hypothesis that apraxia of speech underlies the phonological delays observed in children with ASD has not been supported (Shriberg, Paul, Black, & van Santen, 2011). There is, however, evidence of fine and gross motor skills delays in young children with ASD (Bhat, Galloway, & Landa, 2012;Lloyd, MacDonald, & Lord, 2013).…”

“…3 CAS have been described occasionally with genetic disorders such as galactosemia, type 1 neurofibromatosis or in chromosomal rearrangements, in particular encompassing the FOXP1 or FOXP2 genes. [40][41][42][43] Four genes have been reported in association with speech disorders, often associated with other neurobehavioural abnormalities. These include mutations in the CNTNAP2, FOXP1 FOXP2 and SRPX2 genes.…”
