Treatment for CAS focuses on the “movement” of speech vs. production of speech sounds in isolation. This means that children are learning to feel the way their articulators (tongue, teeth, jaw) move, to achieve accurate and smooth speech. After assessment, therapy will begin by implementing specific goals to improve how your child plans and sequences, simple to complex, movements required for speech. Treatment is carried out by face-to-face interaction, involving multi-sensory input, to the degree it’s necessary to facilitate accurate speech production. Family support and engagement is always encouraged, as is weighs into the success of therapy and carryover of speech, into the natural environment.
