Amniocentesis = requires withdrawing a sample of fluid from amniotic sac surrounding the fetus during the 2nd trimester; identify the presence of genetic disorders before birth. Apraxia = child has problems saying sounds, syllables, and words because the brain has problems planning to move the body parts needed for speech.
