I have a daughter who is 4 yrs. 7 mos. old, with developmental apraxia of speech. For the past 7 months, she has been disfluent, off and on. This seems to be related to sudden growth spurts in her spoken vocabulary, perhaps related to the "capacities/demands model" of fluency? Has anyone else documented "apraxic stuttering"? If so, is this a transient phase, or something that will remain with her?

Looking forward to your opinions and comments.
