What is the link between childhood apraxia of speech and ADHD?

Research suggests a higher rate of co-occurrence between CAS and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Children with both conditions may experience difficulties with attention, impulse control, and motor planning, which can affect speech progress.

Therapy for CAS may need to be adapted for shorter, more engaging sessions to suit children with ADHD. Multidisciplinary support, including psychologists and occupational therapists, is often beneficial.
