Hi Britney,

Welcome to HCM.
There is no medicine for apraxia. The child needs speech therapy, play therapy, physical therapy. If inclined to music, music therapy and later on occupational therapy. Since it is a motor nerve disorder, not much can be achieved by medicines but various forms of exercise therapy can be useful.
Wishing the child all the best.
I find this answer helpful
