  1. Helpful tips for children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS).

  2. Children who have CAS have difficulty with production in saying sounds, syllables or words. Muscle weakness or paralysis does not cause CAS, it is caused when the brain doesn’t connect well with body parts like lips, jaw or tongue which are necessary for correct speech production. Most children know exactly what they want to express, however their brain cannot coordinate the muscle movements that are required to say the words. Some tools used with children, as an alternative to form speech approximations: is sign language or an Alternative Communication System (AAC) device. Some families fear that using tools like signing or AAC devices will replace all forms of communication however that is not the case with CAS. CAS can be very difficult and frustrating for the child and having an alternative aide can be very helpful. When speech production is improved then the need for alternative support systems will reduce. Contact US For more detail
