COURSE OVERVIEW:
CAS is a dynamic disorder that often co-occurs with other speech disorders (e.g., phonologic disorder, dysarthria) and may also co-occur with a variety of other disorders (e.g., ADHD, Developmental Delay, etc). Differential diagnosis informs initial treatment goals. Because the relative contribution of CAS to a child’s communication disorder may change over time, clinicians need to understand how to adapt intervention to meet changing needs. This course will discuss consideration of the “whole child” with CAS from diagnosis through treatment using a case study approach.
