Our therapy protocol emphasizes speech movements and syllable shapes, uses cues and prompts as needed, addresses prosody skills, provides appropriate feedback, and applies functionality to speech targets. Our comprehensive treatment approach is in accordance with the American Speech-Language–Hearing Association (ASHA) and the Apraxia Kids (formerly Childhood Apraxia of Speech Association of North America [CASANA]) best practice protocols.

At Suburban Speech Center, our apraxia therapy program includes specific training to increase functional language in the home. Our speech-language pathologists will provide specific words and phrases to empower the child to attempt more speaking situations. The speech-language pathologist will then continue to refine and integrate the child’s speech-language skills.
