Childhood apraxia of speech differential diagnosis & practical treatment strategies
Diagnosis of children with severe speech sound disorders can be challenging, and recent research indicates that there are inconsistencies in diagnosis and treatment for Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS). This course will provide information about decision-making for both diagnosis and treatment of CAS using the best available evidence and considering co-occurring diagnoses. A framework for assessment will be discussed as well as how assessment can lead directly into treatment planning. A significant portion of the course will focus on treatment planning and modification of ongoing treatment based on a child's needs and progress. Treatment techniques will focus on application of motor learning principles to motor speech deficits. Case examples will be presented to assist in identification of characteristics of CAS, differential diagnosis, and treatment techniques. Time will be allowed for case discussion.
