Informal Apraxia Assessement Apraxia of Speech Screener Langauge Therapy

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder that makes it hard for a child to speak clearly and consistently. A child with apraxia may know what they want to say but struggle to coordinate the movements needed to produce speech sounds. This can result in inconsistent errors, groping movements, and difficulty with longer or more complex words.
