Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder where children struggle to plan and coordinate the movements needed for clear speech. While children with CAS know what they want to say, their brain has difficulty sending the correct signals to the muscles that control speech. Therapy is essential for helping kids improve their speech through repetitive practice and specific techniques. Early intervention is key to ensuring long-term progress. If your child shows signs of CAS, such as difficulty pronouncing words or inconsistent speech errors, consulting a speech-language pathologist can help guide the next steps.
