🗣️ Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a rare speech disorder where children struggle to make accurate speech movements. Even though their speech muscles aren't weak, the brain has trouble planning and coordinating these movements, leading to speech sound errors and difficulties with rhythm and stress in speech.

🔍Children with CAS often experience other language and literacy challenges, including:
• Delayed language development 🕑
• Expressive language issues (word order confusion, grammatical errors) 🗣️
• Difficulties with reading, spelling, and writing 📚✏️
• Problems with social language/pragmatics 🤝

👶 10 Early Signs and Symptoms of Childhood Apraxia of Speech:
1. Limited babbling or variation in babbling
2. Limited phonetic diversity
3. Inconsistent speech errors
4. Vowel errors and distortions
5. Omissions, particularly in the initial syllables of words
6. Excessive and equal stress on syllables
7. Predominant use of simple syllable shapes
8. Loss of previously spoken words
9. Greater difficulty with intentional speech compared to automatic speech
10. Increased errors or difficulty with longer and more complex syllables and words

Additional Non-Speech “Soft Signs” That May Be Present:
• Impaired voluntary oral movements (oral apraxia) 😄💋
• Delays in fine and gross motor skills 🚶‍♀️🧠
• Feeding difficulties, including choking and poor manipulation of food 🍏🥄
• General awkwardness or clumsiness 🤸‍♂️

✨ Many early signs of CAS overlap with other phonologic and language delays. Identifying the root cause of speech errors, whether it's due to articulation, phonological disorders, dysarthria, or CAS itself, is crucial for deciding the right treatment.

Curious about Late Language Emergence (LLE)? 🌟 It's when young children experience delays in language development without other developmental issues. While some kids catch up on their own, others may need early intervention from Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs). Check out my blog post https://wix.to/r6iv7ov to learn about risk factors, protective measures, and the importance of timely support to boost language skills. Let's ensure every child has the tools for communication success! 💬📚
