Just what I needed to prepare to visit my 2 year old grandchild overseas who has recently been diagnosed with speech apraxia. It's all new to me.

I am a Speech Pathologist and I need to assess a 5 year old that was labeled CAS, but he is able to produce complete sentences and does have some difficulty with multisyllabic words of 3 or more syllables, but can produce them when they are segmented and slowed down. I was told that he needs to have a PROMPT method used with him, but that seems to be more effective with the students that are at the sound/phoneme level or at least CVC words. I would appreciate a recommendation for assessment for this more advanced level student.

[@BjoremSpeech]

You can created your own assessment at the level the child is breaking down, multisyllabic words, reading in connected speech and looking for a pattern of CAS characteristics. If you have taken my assessment course I show you how to do this. You have to be sure to assess them at the level of breakdown in order to observe the characteristics.

Hi, im a mother . Do you offer online parent guided therapy?

[@rihamturk]

I just have the same query @BjoremSpeech

[@edifice2773]

I know this was posted over a year ago, but I have to point out one thing that is wrong. Reading to an apraxic preschooler will not make him a better reader in K or first grade. Apraxic children are often (usually) dyslexic, and all the bedtime stories in the world will not help a dyslexic child learn to read. Apraxic/dyslexic children often lack the underlying physical and phonological skills that other children pick up almost instinctively. They usually do best with an intensive sensory-based reading curriculum (like one of the numerous Orton Gillingham based curriculums out there).

[@BjoremSpeech]

I think you misunderstood. I never stated just reading to an apraxia child will help with a child learn to read or talk. Apraxia/dyslexic children need direct instruction in how to learn to read. This presentation I state read to your children a lot... not to teach them to read but so that reading is an intricate part of their day and develops the love of reading because it will already be hard. I should have stated that, but I did not say that reading to your child will teach them to read.
