How can apraxia, phonology, and other speech sound deficits be treated?
A comprehensive approach tends to be the most efficient and effective method for treating CAS and other speech sound deficits, incorporating elements of oral motor therapy, tactile-kinesthetic cueing, and cycling through individual speech sounds. It is also important to encourage functional communication through verbalizations, signs, gestures, word approximations, and Augmentative Alternative Communication such as the Picture Exchange Communication System or speech generating devices, depending on what is appropriate for each child.
