Children with childhood apraxia of speech show preserved intrinsic pitch patterns, but clear vowel-specific differences in vowel quality, pitch, and duration. Important clinical implications for assessment and therapy. #ChildhoodApraxiaOfSpeech #SpeechResearch

Diagnosing #ChildhoodApraxiaOfSpeech in toddlers can be tricky. Under 2s often can’t fully participate in tasks, and even 2–3 year olds may be hard to assess. What matters most? Skilled SLPs + child readiness. speechapraxia.co.uk/about-sauk/f...

Did you know? Children with #Galactosemia have a dramatically higher risk of #ChildhoodApraxiaOfSpeech (#CAS)—~24% meet diagnostic criteria, ~180x higher than the general population (Shriberg et al., 2011)! Early recognition is key for targeted therapy. #SLT #SpeechTherapy

Rare Disease Day 28/2/2025

#ChildhoodApraxiaofSpeech (CAS) is a speech disorder that affects speech motor planning and programming.

1 in 3 children with #CAS have a single #gene cause for their CAS!

Does the severity of #ChildhoodApraxiaOfSpeech change over time?

Yes with early, effective therapy, children can make huge progress and may only show mild signs later on. Delayed or inappropriate treatment, however, can lead to lasting challenges.

65% of children with suspected #ChildhoodApraxiaOfSpeech face reading challenges vs 24% with other speech disorders. Targeting phonological awareness, rhyming, word families & sound play, can boost speech and literacy outcomes. #Apraxia #SLT #Literacy #PhonologicalAwareness

Children with #7q11.23 duplication often face motor, speech & social delays. The most common speech difficulty is #ChildhoodApraxiaOfSpeech. Early, consistent SLT & phonics-based reading approaches make a big difference in language & literacy outcomes speechapraxia.co.uk/about-sauk/f...

Some children with #ChildhoodApraxiaOfSpeech may go undiagnosed—not from “over-diagnosis,” but because their profile doesn’t meet the strict threshold. A continuum of speech motor planning difficulties exists, and these still deserve clinical attention.
