The goal of this program is to focus on children with severely impaired phonological systems, including those with the label, Childhood Apraxia of Speech. Information about methods for expediting intelligibility gains is presented in the first two parts, including identification of patterns of phonological deviations, selection of optimal target patterns, and specific information regarding treatment. Because children with highly unintelligible speech frequently experience difficulties in the domain of early literacy, information about assessing and enhancing metaphonological skills is explained in the third part. Assessment results outcome data for a preschool client along with video clips are provided in the last part to exemplify evidence-based practices.

Evidence-based practice in diagnosing and treating Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is difficult due to limited information regarding best practices in assessment and treatment. Megan Overby, Ph.D., CCC-SLP will review available tools and procedures to assist in the diagnosis of CAS along a continuum of severity. She will provide guidelines for selecting treatment targets, and highlight principles of motor programming therapy. Practical resources, videos, and audience suggestions will be shared during discussion of this complicated disorder.
