Activating the Supplementary Motor Area (SMA) = Better Speech Motor Control 🧠✨
In Apraxia therapy, we don’t just work on repeating sounds — we work on activating the brain areas responsible for planning and sequencing movement.
The SMA plays a key role in helping children initiate, coordinate, and control the motor movements needed for speech.
When we target SMA activation through sensory-motor, rhythmic, and movement-based tasks, we’re actually strengthening the neural pathways that support clearer, more confident speech. 💬💛
Stronger motor planning ➝ Better speech outcomes.
This is the science behind meaningful Apraxia progress.
