Which baffles me to no end. My son got a diagnosis of oral motor dyspraxia
over 14 years ago. He did not have a total LACK of motor planning, but a
difficulty with motor planning! The "dys" means difficulty with, while the
previx of "a" means a total lack of. A person who has absolutenly NO
language is considered "aphasic", and a person who has difficulty with
language is "dysphasic".

Call me old-fashioned, or set my ways (plus I have all these decade plus old
reports using "dyspraxia")... I'm sticking with dyspraxia! Oh, yeah... for
a while I actually belonged to the the very short-lived "National
Organizaton of Apraxia and Dyspraxia".
