As SLPs, part of what we prioritize are 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬. These words have to do with their immediate 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬. These help build communication, rather than just naming.

Children need opportunities to think through problems, make choices, practice decision-making, and learn from the process. When we immediately provide answers or scripts, we reduce opportunities for learning.

When SLPs describe Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) as a neurological speech disorder, it can sound overwhelming at first.

Some people hear the word “neurological” and mistakenly think it means intellectual disability …but that’s not accurate.

“Neurological” simply means speech starts in the brain, not in the mouth.

A child with CAS knows what they want to say, but their brain has difficulty planning and coordinating the movements needed for speech.

That’s why a motor-based approach is used in speech therapy that focuses on moving between sounds, syllables, and words.
