What is Childhood Apraxia of Speech?
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a serious speech disorder that affects a child’s ability to correctly produce syllables and words. The thing that others notice when the children are young is their very limited and unclear speech. Children with Apraxia have a problem planning out how to move their lips, mouth, tongue, or jaw to make the words sound correct. They understand language well enough, but they can’t plan the speech movements to happen at just the right time, in just the right order for the words to come out right.
Why is Talking Hard for Kids with Apraxia?
The act of speaking is really amazing! It involves our brain, parts of the face, mouth, jaw, muscles around all these parts, and pathways from the brain to the muscles!
