Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Definition
� “Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a neurological childhood (pediatric) speech sound
disorder in which the precision and consistency of movements underlying speech are
impaired in the absence of neuromuscular deficits (e.g. abnormal reflexes, abnormal
tone). CAS may occur as a result of known neurological impairment, in association with
complex neurobehavioral disorders of known or unknown origin, or as an idiopathic
neurogenic speech sound disorder. The core impairment in planning and/or
programming spatiotemporal parameters of movement sequences results in errors in
speech sound production and prosody”(ASHA 2007b)
