Summary
This study tested whether methylphenidate, a drug often used for ADHD, can improve how clearly children with apraxia of speech can speak. 18 children aged 6-12 took either the drug or a placebo, then switched, so each child tried both. The goal was to see if the drug made their single words and short sentences easier to understand.
