Providing Insight into the Complexities of CAS Diagnosis
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), also sometimes referred to as verbal dyspraxia, is a rare speech disorder that is both underdiagnosed and overdiagnosed. For those that are underdiagnosed, children are typically treated for speech disorders that can mimic CAS; for those overdiagnosed, assumptions are likely being made during an initial visit without evaluating clinical symptoms over time. In this month’s newsletter, CAS is highlighted in order to provide important information regarding this intricate, often confusing, disorder and the ways in which those with a true CAS diagnosis can be helped.
As we enter a new year fresh with possibilities, CTC wishes to extend blessings for a healthy, happy and inspiring 2024!
