Is childhood apraxia of speech permanent?

CAS is generally a long-term condition, but its impact can vary. Many children make significant progress with intensive, tailored therapy, especially when treatment begins early. While some may continue to experience speech difficulties into adolescence or adulthood, others achieve near-typical speech with ongoing support.

CAS does not usually resolve without therapy—it requires structured, frequent intervention from a speech pathologist.
