I am always struck by how many of the parents with children who have severe speech and language disorders are having to fight to be heard and for provision. Why do we not prioritise these essential services? It leads to children falling behind at school, loosing confidence and self belief.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech: Not a Delay, a Different Path Children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) do not simply develop speech more slowly—they develop it differently. The core difficulty lies in planning and sequencing the movements needed for speec...

Childhood Apraxia of Speech isn’t just a delay, it’s a different pathway. Children may understand language but struggle to plan and produce speech, leading to inconsistency and slow progress. Intervention must target motor planning, not just vocabulary.

Why Childhood Apraxia of Speech is Often Misunderstood CAS is frequently confused with general speech delay or phonological disorder. The key difference is that CAS involves a breakdown in motor planning, not just sound learning. Children with CAS may per...

The Three Core Signs of Childhood Apraxia of Speech CAS is identified by three main features. First, children produce inconsistent errors—saying the same word differently each time. Second, transitions between sounds are slow or disrupted, making speec...

Inconsistent speech, disrupted transitions, and unusual rhythm, these are the hallmarks of CAS.

What is Childhood Apraxia of Speech? Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a neurological speech disorder affecting how the brain plans and sequences speech movements. Children know what they want to say but struggle to coordinate the mov...

CAS is not about knowing words, it’s about planning how to say them. Early recognition matters. speechapraxia.co.uk/about-sauk/f...

Gluten Sensitivity and Neurotransmitter Imbalance in CAS New Research Explores Gluten Sensitivity and Neurotransmitter Imbalance in Childhood Apraxia of Speech

New research suggests children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech may show higher gluten-related antibodies and an imbalance between glutamate and GABA. These biochemical markers could help distinguish CAS from other language disorders—but more research is needed.

Degenerative AOS commonly involves the supplementary motor area and lateral premotor cortex. Imaging shows structural and functional disruption in speech networks. In stroke, involvement may be broader but typically left-hemisphere dominant.
