Giving a voice to individuals with apraxia of speech
Autism and Childhood Apraxia of Speech
About Us
Autism and Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) can occur together. Some autistic children are minimally verbal or non-speaking because of language, social communication or sensory differences, while others may also have a motor speech disorder such as CAS. Distinguishing between these presentations is essential, as intervention approaches may differ significantly.This page brings together useful information, research and support for parents, professionals and researchers.
