Description - Speaking of Apraxia: A Parents' Guide to Childhood Apraxia of Speech by Leslie Lindsay
Does your child seem to understand much more than he can say? Does he struggle to say words that other children his age say effortlessly? If so, he may have childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) -- a neurological, motor-based speech disorder which is characterised by difficulty planning and organising the speech movements necessary for intelligible speech. Fortunately, with early, intensive speech therapy, most children can have greatly improved or normal speech. Written by a mother whose daughters CAS is now resolved, this second edition is extensively updated and jam-packed with reliable information and research, and covers: speech basics; getting a CAS diagnosis; treatment methods; working with speech-language pathologists; coping and advocating; creating a language-rich environment at home; early intervention and special education.
