How do you assess childhood apraxia of speech?

Assessment for CAS involves a detailed evaluation by a speech pathologist, including:

1. Oral-motor examination to check movement of lips, tongue, and jaw. 
2. Repetition tasks with syllables and words to look for inconsistency.
3. Assessment of longer words and phrases to identify sequencing errors.
4. Observation of prosody (intonation and rhythm of speech).
5. Case history and parent input about communication development.

This multi-layered process helps confirm whether CAS is present. Book a consultation with us to get started.
