Tube Troubles. The Eustachian tube is a small passageway from your inner ear to the back of your nose, and plays an important part in the hearing process. Every time you swallow, yawn, or blow your nose, the Eustachian tube opens and allows air to pass from the middle of your ear to the back of your nose. This process equalizes the pressure in our ears, and prevents the eardrum from bulging in or out too much.
Oromotor dyspraxia, also called verbal apraxia or apraxia of speech: Makes it difficult to coordinate muscle movements needed to pronounce words. Kids with dyspraxia may have speech that is slurred and difficult to understand because theyâre unable to enunciate.
Adults with dyspraxia will likely experience motor and communication difficulties as to adolescents. It is important for friends, family, and employers to maintain a positive and supportive environment to provide adults with dyspraxia the assistance they need to lead fulfilled and productive adult lives. Adults with dyspraxia will need to: 1  Learn about anti-discrimination laws affecting their workplace and working with a disability; 2  Learn about assistive technology for college or work; and. 3  Continue speech, physical therapy, and occupational therapy as recommended.
