Child Apraxia Services
Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder that makes it difficult for children to speak.
Children with the diagnosis of apraxia of speech generally have a good understanding of language and know what they want to say.
However, they have difficulty learning or carrying out the complex sequenced movements that are necessary for intelligible speech.
Our Intensive Training Institute began in 2011, and since then, over 100 SLPs across the country have received the highest level of training on evaluating and treating children with apraxia.
We know that the most valuable resource we can provide is evidence-based information on childhood apraxia of speech.
Our Online Webinars ensure that professionals have easy access to this information to further their knowledge of CAS, regardless of location.
Information on childhood apraxia of speech is available in our Article Library, which covers various topics and continues to grow.
Over half a million viewers access our website each year, spreading knowledge on childhood apraxia of speech.
Our Virtual Education Series features information & recorded webinars about some of our most popular topics like school-based training, comorbidities, therapy, and more.
