Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a neurological speech disorder where children struggle to plan and execute the movements required for clear speech. Children with CAS understand language, but their brains have difficulty coordinating the muscle movements necessary for speaking. Treatment typically involves intensive speech therapy, focusing on repeated practice to improve speech consistency. Early diagnosis and therapy are crucial for progress, helping children develop better communication skills over time. If your child shows signs of CAS, such as inconsistent speech errors or difficulty pronouncing words, consult a speech therapist for guidance and support.
