Therapy for a child with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is all about helping your child learn how to smoothly and accurately put sounds together to make words. We focus on practicing a small set of meaningful words over and over in fun and engaging ways, so your child can build confidence and success. I use cues like slowing down, showing with my mouth, or gently tapping to help guide their speech movements, and then gradually fade those supports as they improve. Sessions are active, positive, and filled with lots of repetition and encouragement so your child can carry their progress into everyday communication at home, school, and play.
Parents play a very important role in therapy for CAS, and I make sure you are part of the process every step of the way. During sessions, I’ll often invite you to observe so you can see the cues and strategies I’m using with your child. After each session, I’ll share a few specific words or phrases we practiced and show you exactly how to help your child practice at home in short, fun bursts (just a few minutes at a time). I’ll also check in with you regularly to talk about what’s working, what’s challenging, and to answer any questions. Your feedback about how your child communicates at home, school, or in the community helps me adjust therapy targets so they are practical and meaningful. In short, you’re not just watching—you’re actively supporting and reinforcing your child’s progress outside of the therapy room.
For some children with CAS, I use AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) as an extra tool to help them express themselves while we keep working on speech. This might look like low-tech options such as picture cards, choice boards, or simple signs, or high-tech options like an iPad app with voice output. AAC helps the child continue to develop their vocabulary while they continue to practice their speech skills. This will provide them a way to communicate their wants, needs, feelings, and ideas. I've found that introducing AAC early reduces frustration due to communication breakdown, builds confidence, and often helps vocabulary development and speech progress as the child continues to work diligently during therapy.
