Childhood Apraxia of Speech

Are you wondering if your child is saying sounds correctly for their age range? Childhood Apraxia of Speech is a motor planning disorder that impacts the precision and consistency of speech sound production. Children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech may be very difficult to understand to familiar and unfamiliar listeners. Their errors may be inconsistent which further negatively impacts their ability to be clearly understood when attempting to communicate. The Speech Sessions team can help determine if your child is producing sounds in error and if those errors are developmentally appropriate for their age range, or if those errors are currently not developmentally appropriate and should be evaluated further. Contact Speech Sessions to request a screening to determine if an evaluation is recommended.
