Top 15 Childhood Apraxia of Speech Therapy Pitfalls
Common pitfalls speech-language pathologists and parents make when trying to help a child with CAS can be avoided! Over the years, while working with families, therapists, and students, I have had the opportunity to compile the most common unknowns or mistakes made when it comes to a motor based therapy approach. This presentation will cover the TOP 15 pitfalls in CAS treatment and how simple changes can change the direction of therapy and progress. These evidence-based tips will immediately change how therapists and parents think about their approach and decision making in therapy.
