Questions for your doctor regarding apraxia

Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with healthcare professionals regarding their condition. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions related to apraxia:

  1. Why do you think I have apraxia? Could it be something else? 

  2. What type of apraxia do I have?

  3. Will my apraxia get worse?

  4. What do you think is causing my apraxia?

  5. Can the cause of my apraxia be treated? How? 

  6. Do I have brain damage that may be causing my apraxia? Is this damage permanent? 

  7. Are there certain activities that should be monitored or restricted (e.g., dressing, cooking)? 

  8. Will physical, occupational or speech therapy help me? Can you recommend a therapist?

  9. Will I be able to regain motor function? 

  10. Would psychological counseling, either individually or in a group, be helpful? 

  11. Given my current limitation, can you recommend strategies to help me communicate with others?
