Note. No MSD = no motor speech disorder; NSA = normal(ized) speech acquisition; Y = yes; N = no; SMD = speech motor delay; PSD = persistent speech delay; SD = speech delay; CD = childhood dysarthria; CAS = childhood apraxia of speech.

^a How often speech understood by parent: 3 = never, 2 = sometimes, 1 = usually, and 0 = always.

^b Parent perception of child's willingness to talk: 0 = usually willing, 1 = hesitant in many situations, and 2 = hesitant in most situations.

^c Parent perception of child's willingness to repeat if not understood: 0 = usually willing, 1 = often unwilling, and 2 = always unwilling. Parents of Participants 8 and 10 did not provide a response to this section of the parent questionnaire.
