Reddit reviews Speaking of Apraxia: A Parents' Guide to Childhood Apraxia of Speech

I work often with children with CAS and they are some of my favorite students! The prognosis is good if it is the main area of difficulty but for children with other diagnoses (e.g. Autism, genetic syndromes, etc...) it depends on many other variables. Keeping that in mind, progress tends to be slow and takes a substantial amount of practice. I cannot tell parents enough that one of if not the most important components of therapy is regular practice. I also highly recommend supplemental therapy either outpatient or at a private practice if you are able in addition to what is being provided through the school district. Be sure to find a therapist who really understands motor speech disorders - the recommended approach for CAS is quite different than traditional articulation therapy. Be sure that your child is also getting help to get their message across and expand their language skills through use of communication boards/books or high-tech devices like iPads or Speech Generating Device (they will need an AAC evaluation for this). Speaking of Apraxia a wonderful and very comprehensive resource that is written by a mother with a child with CAS. Best of luck!
