  Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a rare speech disorder. Children with this disorder have trouble controlling their lips, jaws and tongues when speaking. […] In CAS, the brain has trouble planning for speech movement. The brain isn’t able to properly direct the movements needed for speech. The speech muscles aren’t weak, but the muscles don’t form words the right way. […] Children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) may have a variety of speech symptoms. Symptoms vary depending on a child’s age and the severity of the speech problems. […] CAS can result in: Babbling less or making fewer vocal sounds than is typical between the ages of 7 to 12 months. Speaking first words late, typically after ages 12 to 18 months old. Using a limited number of consonants and vowels. Often leaving out sounds when speaking. Using speech that is hard to understand.

  Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a rare, significant, and lifelong speech disorder which is present from birth and does not naturally resolve. […] CAS does not naturally resolve, and it is very different to other, more common speech problems children can experience. […] However, CAS affects a child’s ability to organise the movements of the muscles used in speech such as planning the movements of their jaw, lips, tongue, voice and back of the roof of their mouth. Children with CAS have trouble storing plans for new words, meaning they need to work out the movements for the same words over and over again. […] Children with CAS can be very hard to understand as their ability to produce the sounds accurately and consistently for speech is variable. Speech can sound jumbled, contain lots of sound errors, have limited variety of speech sounds or can sound too loud or broken and robotic.

  Many children with CAS have trouble getting their jaws, lips and tongues to the correct positions to make a sound. They also may have a hard time moving smoothly to the next sound. […] Some symptoms may be unique to children with CAS, which helps to make a diagnosis. However, some symptoms of CAS are also symptoms of other types of speech or language disorders. It’s hard to diagnose CAS if a child has only symptoms that are found both in CAS and in other disorders. […] Those associated with CAS include: Trouble moving smoothly from one sound, syllable or word to another. Groping movements with the jaw, lips or tongue to try to make the correct movement for speech sounds. Vowel distortions, such as trying to use the correct vowel but saying it incorrectly. Using the wrong stress in a word, such as pronouncing „banana” as „BUH-nan-uh” instead of „buh-NAN-uh.” Using equal emphasis on all syllables, such as saying „BUH-NAN-UH.” Separation of syllables, such as putting a pause or gap between syllables. Inconsistency, such as making different errors when trying to say the same word a second time. Having a hard time imitating simple words. Voicing errors, such as saying „down” instead of „town.” […] Children usually produce more speech between ages 2 and 4. Many children with CAS also have language problems, such as reduced vocabulary or trouble with word order.

  Some characteristics, sometimes called markers, help distinguish CAS from other types of speech disorders. Those associated with CAS include: Trouble moving smoothly from one sound, syllable or word to another. Groping movements with the jaw, lips or tongue to try to make the correct movement for speech sounds. Vowel distortions, such as trying to use the correct vowel but saying it incorrectly. Using the wrong stress in a word, such as pronouncing „banana” as „BUH-nan-uh” instead of „buh-NAN-uh.” Using equal emphasis on all syllables, such as saying „BUH-NAN-UH.” Separation of syllables, such as putting a pause or gap between syllables. Inconsistency, such as making different errors when trying to say the same word a second time. Having a hard time imitating simple words. Voicing errors, such as saying „down” instead of „town.” […] Diagnosing and treating childhood apraxia of speech at an early stage may reduce the risk of long-term persistence of the problem. If your child experiences speech problems, have a speech-language pathologist evaluate your child as soon as you notice any speech problems.

• #1 Childhood Apraxia of Speech Goals | CAS Speech Therapy

  https://www.speechandlanguagekids.com/4-components-speech-therapy-children-childhood-apraxia-speech/

  CAS is a rare, neurologically-based speech disorder where the child knows what he wants to say but the message gets mixed up in the motor planning and execution phase so the sounds come out all wrong. […] That’s exactly how speech feels for children with CAS. They know what they want to say and they tell their mouth to say it but it just comes out all wrong. […] Since CAS is still a relatively new diagnosis, there are no standard diagnostic criteria for determining if a child has it or not. From what we can tell, though, most clinicians agree that these three common features should be present for the diagnosis: Inconsistent errors on consonants and vowels in repeated productions of syllables or words (meaning that if the child says the same word many times, it may sound differently each time). Lengthened and disrupted coarticulatory transitions (meaning that the child’s speech sounds choppy or disconnected due to trouble transitioning between sounds or between words in older children). Inappropriate prosody, especially in the realization of lexical or phrasal stress between sounds and syllables (meaning that the rhythm, intonation, and stress of speech may sound off, the child may sound robotic, have incorrect phrasing, or stress the wrong words or syllables).

• #1 Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS): Symptoms & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17911-childhood-apraxia-of-speech

  Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder that makes it difficult for your child to speak. The disorder affects the nerve pathways that send messages from your child’s brain to their mouth. Because of this, your child has trouble carrying out the movements their mouth needs to make to speak clearly and accurately. […] Childhood apraxia of speech symptoms vary from child to child. In general, children with CAS usually understand language but have difficulty with speaking and communicating. Symptoms of childhood apraxia of speech may include: Attempting to say a word several times before saying it correctly, Difficulty coordinating the movement from one syllable of a word to the next syllable, Distorting sounds or deleting sounds, Making errors in the tone, stress or rhythm of speech, Making inconsistent errors in speech.

  Other characteristics are seen in most children with speech or language problems and aren’t helpful in distinguishing CAS. Characteristics seen both in children with CAS and in children with other types of speech or language disorders include: […] Babbling less or making fewer vocal sounds than is typical between the ages of 7 to 12 months old […] Speaking first words late (after ages 12 to 18 months old) […] Using a limited number of consonants and vowels […] Frequently leaving out (omitting) sounds […] Using speech that is difficult to understand speech. […] CAS may also occur as a symptom of a genetic disorder, syndrome or metabolic condition. For example, CAS occurs more frequently in children with galactosemia. CAS is sometimes referred to as developmental apraxia. However, children with CAS don’t necessarily grow out of CAS as they develop. In many children with delayed speech or developmental disorders, children follow usual patterns in development of speech and sounds, but they develop more slowly than usual. […] Children with CAS don’t make typical developmental sound errors. They need speech therapy to make maximum progress.

  As your child grows, they may miss language development milestones, like saying their first words and using short sentences to express themselves. Developmental delays could prevent your child from learning in the classroom at the same level as their peers. […] Theres no cure for CAS, but early treatment can relieve frustration that your child may show if they want to say something but are unable to communicate that message. Many factors come into play, but with appropriate treatment, most children with the disorder will eventually be able to speak normally to some degree.

  Not all children with CAS are the same. Your child may show some or all of the signs below. You should talk to your doctor and see an SLP if your child is older than 3 years and does not always say words the same way every time; tends to put the stress on the wrong syllable or word; distorts or changes sounds; or can say shorter words more clearly than longer words. […] Children with CAS may have other problems, including difficulty with fine motor skills; delayed language; or problems with reading, spelling, and writing. […] A child with CAS should work with an SLP. Your child may begin with therapy 3-5 times per week. As speech improves, treatment may be less often. Individual or group therapy may be appropriate at different stages of treatment. […] The goal of treatment is to help your child say sounds, words, and sentences more clearly. Your child will learn how to plan the movements needed to say sounds and make those movements the right way at the right time.

  An older child with a more developed speech pattern may indicate CAS with the following signs: Makes inconsistent sound errors, Can comprehend language much better than he/she can talk, May appear to be groping when attempting to produce sounds or struggle to intentionally coordinate the jaw, lips or tongue, Has difficulty imitating speech, Has difficulty producing speech sounds when saying longer words or phrases, Is hard to understand, particularly for an unfamiliar listener, Speech sounds monotonous or choppy; difficulty with the „rhythm” of speech, Stresses the wrong part of a word or phrase. […] There also are additional problems that may arise if a child has CAS. These include: Delayed language development, Additional expressive language problems, such as word recall, Issues with fine motor movement, imitation, and/or coordination, Hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity in the mouth, such as not liking to brush teeth or avoiding certain food textures, Difficulty with social interactions with peers due to communication breakdowns.

  There are some physical signs of CAS that can be observed, such as difficulty with smiling, grimacing, and puckering their lips. Some children with CAS may also have difficulty with eating or drinking. They may use excessive or unnecessary movements when speaking, and their speech rate may be slower than their peers. […] The prognosis for children with CAS varies depending on several factors, such as the severity of the condition, the age of onset, and the effectiveness of treatment. Some children with CAS may make significant progress with therapy and go on to develop normal speech, while others may require ongoing therapy and support throughout their lives. […] Early diagnosis and treatment are key to improving the prognosis of CAS. Research has shown that children who receive therapy within the first year of diagnosis have better outcomes than those who start therapy later. Early intervention may help prevent the development of compensatory speech patterns and may improve the child`s ability to communicate effectively with others. However, the effectiveness of therapy may depend on several factors, including the child`s individual needs and responsiveness to treatment.

  Many children with CAS ultimately do achieve normal speech, but some do not. […] The co-occurring symptoms that can affect prognosis most significantly, also in my experience, include language impairment, cognitive impairment, and oral/limb apraxias. […] Overall, it is important to remember that children with CAS can and do make progress in speech intervention. The prognosis for normal speech will depend on a variety of factors; many of these factors are both child-specific and subject to change over time. […] With appropriate early intervention and ongoing support, most children with CAS can improve their speech production skills and develop functional speech. […] Children with apraxia of speech often make slower progress than children with other types of speech sound disorders. […] With appropriate goals, informed by detailed assessment AND appropriate, well executed speech therapy that incorporates principles of motor learning, children with apraxia of speech can be expected to make good, steady progress in therapy, especially those with age appropriate or near age appropriate cognitive and language skills. […] With appropriate goals and intervention, parents of children with apraxia as the primary diagnosis should expect progress in their child’s use of intelligible words within a three-month period.

  An Older Child: Makes inconsistent sound errors that are not the result of immaturity; Can understand language much better than he or she can talk; Has difficulty imitating speech, but imitated speech is more clear than spontaneous speech; May appear to be groping when attempting to produce sounds or to coordinate the lips, tongue, and jaw for purposeful movement; Has more difficulty saying longer words or phrases clearly than shorter ones; Appears to have more difficulty when he or she is anxious; Is hard to understand, especially for an unfamiliar listener; Sounds choppy, monotonous, or stresses the wrong syllable or word. […] Research shows the children with CAS have more success when they receive frequent (3-5 times per week) and intensive treatment. Children seen alone for treatment tend to do better than children seen in groups. As the child improves, they may need treatment less often, and group therapy may be a better alternative.

  Treating CAS requires an approach based on the principles of motor learning. Treatment takes time, patience and commitment. CAS is a dynamic disorder and speech characteristics can change over time with appropriate therapy and neurological maturation. Children should receive intensive and frequent intervention, often as much as three to five times per week. It’s critical to practice at home as well. CAS may be called a „developmental” speech disorder, but it is not something a child will grow out of. There is no cure, so the focus of intervention should be on improving the planning, sequencing and coordination of the muscles in order to communicate clearly.

  A prognosis is, at best, an estimate of how your child’s speech skills will improve with therapy. An exact outcome is impossible for any SLP to predict. There are many features/traits in a child’s life that will differ with each child, that have a great deal of influence in terms of the outcome for a child with apraxia of speech. […] In general, the more severe the child’s apraxia, the longer they will need to receive treatment. […] Children who exhibit an oral apraxia as well as apraxia of speech often require treatment longer than those children who exhibit only CAS. […] The younger the child is when treatment begins, the better his/her long term prognosis. […] The more frequently the child receives appropriate therapy, the better his/her long term prognosis. […] The presence of other disorders with apraxia (such as hearing loss, dysarthria, etc.) will generally indicate a poorer prognosis than when apraxia presents as the only disorder/delay for a child.

  Not every child with CAS will have the same signs and symptoms. The brain of each child with CAS will have different strengths and weaknesses in planning out sounds and words. One child may have no trouble using her tongue for speech, but her brain may not be able to make her jaw work in tandem with her tongue, for instance. […] Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) occurs in children and is present from birth. It appears to affect more boys than girls. This speech disorder goes by several other names, including developmental apraxia of speech, developmental verbal apraxia, developmental verbal dyspraxia and articulatory apraxia. CAS is different from what is known as a developmental delay of speech, in which a child follows the typical path of speech development but does so more slowly than normal.

• #1 What is Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)? – Tongue Twisters

  https://www.tonguetwisters.co.nz/what-is-childhood-apraxia-of-speech-cas/

  Childhood Apraxia of Speech is a speech disorder where the brain has difficulty coordinating the mouth movements needed for speech (using the tongue, lips, jaw). The coordination difficulty means that a child with CAS struggles to sequence and say speech sounds, syllables, and words when they talk. Children with CAS are often very difficult to understand. CAS is not caused by muscle weakness, rather it is a problem from the brain giving the correct plans and directions to the mouth to co-ordinate for speech. […] A child with CAS develops speech differently than a typical child. Their speech doesn’t just sound younger than their actual age (as in a delay), rather they have a disorder that will not catch up by itself. CAS is rare and progress can be excruciatingly slow. If you are at all worried about your child’s speech, I recommend seeking assessment and support from a Speech-Language Therapist as soon as possible.

  As well as children not being able to pronounce the word they want to say, Professor Morgan says flat, robotic speech and inconsistency of speech are other features of CAS. Another feature of CAS is inconsistency of speech. For example, if a child was asked to say the same word three times, the repeated productions of the word may be quite different and not said the same way, which can be quite surprising. […] It can have a really challenging impact, Professor Morgan says, adding that problems increase with age as children become more independent. As children start to get a little bit older, say about four or five years of age, you start to see behavioural difficulties because the children get very frustrated that theyre not able to be understood. They might be acting out a little bit and becoming quite frustrated. Frustration combined with not being able to make themselves understood can make it difficult for children to connect with others too. They might act out with peers at childcare, kindergarten or school, Professor Morgan says. Ultimately until we can get the child getting more communication success, you do see that frustration and sadness. Difficulties making peer relationships have social impacts, as well.

  We know that children who have apraxia of speech are at risk for other language and literacy problems, Professor Morgan says. Being able to express thoughts, feelings and ideas is essential to a childs development and the implications of not meeting milestones can have lasting implications. If you havent had had a really great early start with understanding sounds and use of sounds, we know that youre at risk for literacy and reading disorders, Professor Morgan says. So it is important to get that help before school age so that children can be supported in speech therapy or in other ways to learn more about sounds and language so that when they do get to school, even in the presence of apraxia, weve been working on those other skills to make sure they dont fall behind in other areas as well.

  In order for speech to occur, messages need to go from your brain to your mouth. These messages tell the muscles how and when to move to make sounds. When a child has apraxia of speech, the messages do not get through correctly. The child might not be able to move their lips or tongue in the right ways, even though their muscles are not weak. Sometimes, the child might not be able to say much at all. […] A child with CAS knows what they want to say. The problem is not how the child thinks but how the brain tells the mouth muscles to move. […] CAS is sometimes called verbal dyspraxia or developmental apraxia. Even though the word developmental” is used, CAS is not a problem that children outgrow. A child with CAS will not learn speech sounds in typical order and will not make progress without treatment. It can take a lot of work, but the child’s speech can improve.

  Childhood apraxia of speech. This is a motor speech disorder that you’re born with. It affects a child’s ability to form sounds and words. It isnt a muscle issue; it happens because your childs brain has a hard time planning for and directing the movements of their lips, jaw, and tongue. Children who have it are often far better at understanding speech than at expressing themselves with spoken words. Most children with childhood apraxia of speech can get much better, if not recover completely, with the right treatment. […] Early signs of apraxia of speech in children may include: Very little babbling (in infants), Little variety in the sounds they make, Omitting sounds within words, especially at the beginning of a word, Being able to say a sound or word properly at certain times but not always, Losing the ability to say a word they already learned, Often using nonverbal forms of communication, such as nodding or pointing.

  Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), also called Apraxia of Speech (AOS) or developmental apraxia, is an oral motor speech disorder. Children with CAS find it difficult to produce the sounds they want to make because they cannot correctly plan the movement of the muscles that control the articulators (lips, tongue, teeth, jaw, and velum). […] If the brain signals are not transmitted correctly, then the child’s speech movements will be difficult to coordinate, resulting in unintelligible speech. […] The following symptoms are often seen in children with CAS: […] Children with CAS may not be vocalizing or verbalizing at all. Specific markers at these ages include: Quiet baby with limited cooing and babbling. Delayed first word, or unusual or missing sounds in the first word. Very limited repertoire of sounds and spoken words. Sounds are limited to vowels and consonants if any. All words may sound the same. Long pauses between sounds. May have problems with feeding (chewing, swallowing, gagging). […] These markers may be observed: Vowel and consonant distortions, unlike typical articulation disorders. Separation of syllables in words. Voicing errors, such as turning on the voice for a voiceless sound (e.g., big instead of pig). Sounds may be inconsistent, sometimes spot on and sometimes incorrect. This makes it hard for an SLP to determine the pattern of errors. […] An older child with CAS may show: Difficulty producing many speech sounds. Omitted consonants at the beginning and end of words. Use of grunts, vowel sounds, or single syllables to communicate. The need for repeated attempts to pronounce words. Difficulty moving from one sound, syllable, or word to the next. Deliberate and forced movements of the jaw, lips, or tongue to make the correct sounds. An abnormal choppy rhythm of speech. The child may stress the wrong syllable or use pauses at inappropriate times during speech. […] There is no magic cure or medicine that will heal childhood apraxia of speech. And it’s not a speech disorder that a child will outgrow. Children with CAS need intensive treatment for a lengthy period of time. The length of therapy is difficult to predict because it varies greatly from child to child depending on the child’s determination, concentration, intelligence, access to therapy, the family’s commitment to practice at home, and co-existing issues (Down Syndrome, Autism, etc.). […] There is encouraging news, though! Childhood apraxia of speech can get better. By the age of 8, 9, or 10, your child’s speech can reach the same level as his or her peer group with the occasional hiccup on challenging words or in challenging situations.

  We know that children who have apraxia of speech are at risk for other language and literacy problems, Professor Morgan says. Being able to express thoughts, feelings and ideas is essential to a childs development and the implications of not meeting milestones can have lasting implications. If you havent had had a really great early start with understanding sounds and use of sounds, we know that youre at risk for literacy and reading disorders, Professor Morgan says. So it is important to get that help before school age so that children can be supported in speech therapy or in other ways to learn more about sounds and language so that when they do get to school, even in the presence of apraxia, weve been working on those other skills to make sure they dont fall behind in other areas as well.

• #2 Prognosis for Apraxia: What does the future hold? – Apraxia Kids

  A prognosis is, at best, an estimate of how your child’s speech skills will improve with therapy. An exact outcome is impossible for any SLP to predict. There are many features/traits in a child’s life that will differ with each child, that have a great deal of influence in terms of the outcome for a child with apraxia of speech. […] In general, the more severe the child’s apraxia, the longer they will need to receive treatment. […] Children who exhibit an oral apraxia as well as apraxia of speech often require treatment longer than those children who exhibit only CAS. […] The younger the child is when treatment begins, the better his/her long term prognosis. […] The more frequently the child receives appropriate therapy, the better his/her long term prognosis. […] The presence of other disorders with apraxia (such as hearing loss, dysarthria, etc.) will generally indicate a poorer prognosis than when apraxia presents as the only disorder/delay for a child.

  Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder that first becomes apparent as a young child is learning speech. For reasons not yet fully understood, children with apraxia of speech have great difficulty planning and producing the precise, highly refined and specific series of movements of the tongue, lips, jaw and palate that are necessary for intelligible speech. […] This difficulty in planning speech movements is the hallmark or signature of childhood apraxia of speech. […] Children with apraxia of speech have the most difficulty in this aspect of speech. It is believed that children with CAS may not be able to form or reliably access speech motor plans and programs or that these plans and programs are faulty for some reason. […] Some believe that children with CAS have difficulty accurately storing or volitionally accessing speech motor plans and programs and the spatial-temporal specifications within them. To some degree or another, these impairments result in difficulty rapidly and accurately moving between sequences of articulatory configurations that are required for continuous and intelligible speech production.
