What is the link between childhood apraxia of speech and dyslexia?
CAS and dyslexia are different but may be linked.
Children with CAS may be at higher risk of later literacy difficulties, including dyslexia, because speech-sound awareness is closely tied to reading skills. Early monitoring of literacy development is essential.
If your child has CAS, regular literacy checks are recommended. Contact us now for guidance.
- CAS: Affects motor planning for speech.
- Dyslexia: Affects reading, spelling, and phonological processing.
