Key Points in Apraxia Therapy
In this session, participants will explore the complexities of diagnosing Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and identify qualified professionals for diagnosis. Participants will review key differences between motor and language-based treatments, and analyze treatment videos showcasing motor learning techniques, including multisensory cueing.
