May 14, is Apraxia Awareness Day — a day dedicated to increasing understanding of Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and advocating for the children and families impacted by this complex motor speech disorder.
At the Case Speech Lab & NYU Motor Speech Lab, we are dedicated to advancing evidence-based assessment and treatment for children with CAS while supporting the clinicians and families who help these children find their voices every day.
May is Apraxia Awareness Month!
In pediatric motor speech therapy, we do not treat sounds in isolation.
Speech is not produced one sound at a time.
It emerges from coordinated movement sequences that blend across sounds and syllables.
For this reason, we use words as targets to capture the true temporal and spatial demands of speech.
Have you Made the Shift to pediatric motor speech therapy?!?
In pediatric motor speech therapy, we aim to avoid negative practice, where repeated incorrect productions qre reinforced.
Pediatric motor speech therapy is grounded in motor learning. Maas et al., 2008, discussed applying the principles of motor learning to speech therapy and in it the authors discuss the importance of accuracy in early learning.
*Remember, therapy should support accurate, well cues productions to facilitate effective motor learning.
