Apraxia of speech is a disorder causing problems in speech of a person. This review was conducted to identify already published studies reporting treatment methods for apraxia of speech published between 2012 to 2020. A similar review is available in the literature including studies published until 2012. Our study identified a total of 27 such published articles. We identified three main treatment methods namely articulatory kinematic approaches (n=22), intersystemic facilitation/reorganization treatments (n=4) and other approaches (n=1) to treat apraxia of speech. We observed several methodological improvements in studies included in this review compared with the previous review published in 2012. However, it is recommended to conduct more methodologically robust studies focusing on treatment methods of apraxia of speech in the future.
