How do you test for childhood apraxia of speech?

There is no single test for CAS; instead, diagnosis comes from structured clinical tasks. A speech pathologist may ask your child to:

• Repeat sounds, words, or phrases multiple times. 
• Try words of increasing complexity.
• Use imitation tasks with and without visual cues.

The pathologist looks for inconsistent errors, groping, and speech rhythm difficulties. Standardised assessments and clinical expertise are combined to ensure accuracy.
