Many students graduate and enter the field without being given any information on what CAS is, how to assess and diagnose it, and how to treat it.
Apraxia Kids is providing this curriculum to Graduate Programs in Speech-Language Pathology to fill that gap at no cost!
The modules are accessed through a password protected web platform hosted by Apraxia Kids. Professors must complete the “Request Form” per semester of use to receive access codes for their students.

Each of the three modules contains a short pre-reading assignment, an hour-long recorded interactive lecture with accompanying handout, a quiz to check for learning, a survey to share feedback at the end, and a resource list.
Module 1: Characteristics of CAS
Module 2: Assessment and Diagnosis of CAS
Module 3: Treatment Planning and Implementation for CAS
These modules can be assigned all at once or spread out over a semester. Each module builds on the preceding module and allows the students to gain needed foundational information on CAS, then has resources to expand their knowledge and skills if they have a child with CAS on their caseload. The modules are intended to replace one 3-hour class period with homework to prepare for the lectures.
This unique program was designed under the leadership of Apraxia Kids and members of the Apraxia Kids Professional Advisory Council to educate hundreds of gradate students across the US and beyond giving them critical information on CAS before they enter the field as therapists.
