According to Duffy (2013), Apraxia of Speech (AOS) is a disturbance in the motor planning or programming of movements that result in phonetically and prosodically disordered speech. Within in this paper, there are four treatment plans discussed and they are as follows; repeated practice with rate and rhythm treatment which focuses on repetition of words and phrases while adding hand tapping during speech, script training which focuses on different sentences and phrases that the client practices, speech-music therapy which consists of a combination of speech therapy and music therapy and, speech motor learning, the patient learns consonants and vowels in nonsense words.

and Hancock (2011) researched using script therapy as a treatment approach. Wambaugh, Nessler, Cameron and Mauszycki (2012) focuses on repeated practice with Rate/Rhythm Control as a treatment approach. Both script therapy and the repeated practice use feedback that would work on the articulators and the placement in which helped the clients produce a correct motor plan. Script Therapy and Repeated practice both focus on sentences and phrases by repeating in therapy sessions. Both therapy techniques work on the rate. For example, script therapy will monitor the rate for each client while repeated practice adds hand tapping and a metronome to sentences to dictate the rate in which the clients will speak. In addition, both script therapy and repeated practice used motor learning with a motor plan and programming techniques to teach the …show more content…
Script training was successful in the sense that clients felt confident and the speech naturalness of the scripts (Youmans G., Youmans S. and Hancock, 2011). However, these clients still had articulatory errors within the scripts but, overall the clients would use their scripts not only during treatment sessions. Rate and Rhythm therapy helped eight participants out of ten with articulation and helped with rate. Between repeated practice with rate rhythm and script treatment, Rate and Rhythm improved articulation while script improved speech naturalness and confidence. Overall, repeated treatment shows more validity due to the fact that it works on the articulation
