Childhood Apraxia of Speech

Help your child find their voice with specialized treatment for Childhood Apraxia of Speech, a motor speech disorder that affects a child’s ability to plan and coordinate the movements needed for clear speech. Children with CAS often know what they want to say, but their brain has difficulty sending consistent, accurate messages to the muscles used for speaking, which can make speech difficult to understand. Our services are delivered by a clinician with advanced training in evidence-based motor speech treatment approaches designed specifically for children with complex speech sound disorders. Therapy focuses on building communication through individualized, engaging sessions that support speech movement accuracy, sequencing, prosody, and functional communication skills. Using techniques informed by advanced continuing training in approaches such as Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC), motor learning principles, multisensory cueing, and play-based intervention, treatment is tailored to each child’s unique strengths and needs. Families also receive practical strategies for home practice and collaborative support so children can build communication skills with confidence across everyday environments.
