Understanding Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)

Understanding Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)

In this episode, we sit down with speech pathologist, Shae Wason from My Word Health, to explore the world of Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) — what it is, how it's diagnosed, and what families can do to support their child's journey.

We chat about how Shae found her way into working with children with speech sound disorders, and dig into what actually sets CAS apart from articulation and phonological delays. We cover the real benefits of early identification, the signs parents and educators should watch for, and what a typical therapy session looks like from start to finish.

We also bust some common myths about CAS (no, kids don't just "grow out of it"), talk through why diagnosis can be tricky in very young children, and share practical ways parents can support progress at home. Plus, we get into some of the motor-based therapy approaches — like DTTC and ReST — that are commonly used to help kids build clearer, more confident speech.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or fellow clinician, this episode offers valuable insight into supporting children with CAS.
