🧵 4/5

Although CAS is relatively rare, speech, language & communication needs more broadly affect many more. The consequences are not only linguistic — they affect learning, confidence, friendships & emotional wellbeing.

#langsky #speechandlanguage #apraxiaofspeech #CAS

🧵 3/5

Now imagine coordinating hundreds of these movements across a sentence in milliseconds. For children with CAS, this planning system breaks down, making speech effortful, inconsistent & often hard to understand.

#langsky #speechandlanguage #childhoodapraxia #apraxiaofspeech #CAS

🧵 2/5

Producing even a single sound requires a precisely timed sequence: air from the lungs, vocal fold vibration (or not), the velum controlling nasal airflow, & the tongue, lips & teeth shaping the sound. Tiny timing differences can change /s/ into /z/ or /t/.

#langsky #speechandlanguage #CAS

🧵 1/5

CAS is a speech motor disorder in which the difficulty isn’t knowing words or meanings, but the brain’s ability to plan & coordinate the movements required to say them. The message is there — the motor plan to deliver it isn’t.

#langsky #speechandlanguage #apraxiaofspeech #CAS

Childhood apraxia of speech: when the brain can’t plan the words This rare speech motor disorder prevents effective speech planning, leaving some children persistently difficult to understand without specialist support.

Talking feels effortless but from a linguistic perspective, speech is one of the most complex things the human body does.

A recent article on childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) highlights this beautifully.

Illustrated book cover titled The Mouse and the Sun. A smiling yellow sun shines in a blue sky above a grey mouse sitting on a path, gazing up at the sun. Mountains, hills, trees, and clouds complete the background. Text reads: “Re-imagined by Sarah Johnson and illustrated by Baz Rowell.” The Phoenix Education Consultancy Limited logo appears at the bottom.

This little project has brought me joy tonight. The Mouse and the Sun gorgeously illustrated by Baz Rowell, is really coming to life as a beautiful storybook. It’s shaping up so beautifully I feel a bit tearful.
