Abstract
To test the predictive ability claimed for the Milloy Assessment of Praxis (MAP), four children were reassessed six years after the last administra tion of the procedure. Results indicate that the claim is justified: children diagnosed after three administrations of MAP at six-monthly intervals, either continue to present with characteristics of developmental articula tory dyspraxia or show the expected improvements predicted for immature articulatory praxis. Speech therapy intervention programmes in each case are discussed.Keywords
