How do you treat childhood apraxia of speech?

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is treated with intensive, individualised speech therapy provided by a qualified speech pathologist. Therapy focuses on improving the brain’s ability to plan and coordinate the movements needed for speech.

Evidence-based approaches include:

• Motor-based therapy (e.g., Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing).
• Frequent, short, and intensive sessions (3–5 times per week if possible).
• Use of visual, tactile, and auditory cues to support learning.
• Practice with real words and functional communication.

Treatment is tailored to each child’s unique needs. To explore therapy options, book a consultation with us.
