The Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) course, designed for speech-language pathologists, focuses on understanding CAS and distinguishing it from other speech sound disorders. It covers motor planning, assessment techniques, and early identification in toddlers and preschool-aged children. Participants will learn to use diagnostic tools, differentiate CAS from similar disorders, and develop individualized treatment plans. The course also includes evidence-based interventions and strategies for minimally verbal children, promoting multi-modal communication and early speech development, while preparing therapists to address common questions from caregivers about prognosis and treatment outcomes.
