🚨 May 14th is observed annually to raise awareness for Childhood Apraxia of Speech!
☀️ Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a pediatric neurological speech sound disorder.
🗣️ CAS is due to difficulty: planning/programming the timing, direction, degree, force, and sequence of the muscles that affect speech sound production and prosody. These children can have difficulty with longer or more complex syllables and word shapes.
👦🏼 The population point-prevalence estimate for CAS in children ages 4-8 is currently estimated to be 1 in 1,000.
💛 If your child or someone you know is exhibiting these speech characteristics, we'd love to help!
