🎙️ Childhood Apraxia of Speech Series: Part 1 of 5

When working with children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), it’s important to remember one key concept: speech is motor.

In this video, Childhood Apraxia of Speech expert Anne Hodits discusses why CAS is a motor speech disorder and how treatment must focus on helping children learn and practice the movement sequences needed for speech production.

Because speech is a motor skill, intervention approaches should target motor learning principles. Speech therapists at Strive to Thrive Therapy frequently incorporate evidence-based approaches such as DTTC (Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing) and PROMPT (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets) in her clinical practice to support children with CAS in developing more accurate and consistent speech movements.

Stay tuned for the next 4 videos as Anne shares additional key ingredients for successful CAS intervention!

💬 Are you a speech-language pathologist working with children with CAS? Consider exploring training opportunities in DTTC and PROMPT to expand your clinical toolbox and support motor-based speech intervention.

Movement with purpose! 🌟

After activating the vestibular system through rotary movement, this little one took on a fun heavy work challenge by crawling through a sock tunnel. 🧦💪

Heavy work activities provide proprioceptive input, helping the body understand where it is in space while supporting regulation, body awareness, motor planning, and attention. Pairing vestibular and proprioceptive input can be a powerful way to help children feel organized and ready to engage in play and learning.

Therapy sessions are designed to be fun while targeting the foundational skills kids need to thrive!

Have you ever noticed a child having a BIG emotional reaction to what seems like a small mistake, correction, or disappointment?

For some individuals with ADHD, these moments may be connected to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)—an intense emotional response to perceived criticism, rejection, or failure.

RSD can impact confidence, participation, friendships, and willingness to try new things. What may look like overreacting on the outside can actually reflect very real emotional pain on the inside.

As therapists, parents, and educators, we can help by:
💙 Validating feelings without judgment
💙 Focusing on strengths and successes
💙 Teaching emotional regulation strategies
💙 Encouraging resilience and a growth mindset

Understanding the “why” behind big emotions helps children feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

LET’S LEARN ABOUT ADHD! 🧠✨

ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions in childhood, but it’s often misunderstood. ADHD is so much more than being “hyper” or having trouble paying attention.

Children with ADHD may experience challenges with:
🔹 Attention and focus
🔹 Impulse control
🔹 Emotional regulation
🔹 Organization and planning
🔹 Hyperactivity and restlessness

The good news? With the right support, strategies, and understanding, children with ADHD can thrive and reach their full potential.

Over the next several weeks, we’ll be breaking down common ADHD topics, including:
✔️ Signs and symptoms
✔️ ADHD in girls
✔️ Executive functioning
✔️ Emotional regulation
✔️ Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)
✔️ School and home strategies
✔️ Therapy approaches and supports

Follow along as we learn more about ADHD together in the coming weeks and celebrate the unique strengths of neurodiverse children!

Balancing, reaching, throwing… all while standing on a BOSU ball 👏⚖️

This activity challenges:
✨ Core strength
✨ Dynamic balance
✨ Coordination
✨ Motor planning
✨ Postural control

Picking up objects from below while maintaining balance can be especially tricky because the body naturally wants to fall forward. With therapist cueing and repetition, kids learn how to shift weight safely, engage their core, and improve body awareness during movement-based tasks 💪
