Description

A recent survey collected by Bjorem Speech
indicated that over 88% of SLP's consider
themselves novice/still learning in the area
of CAS. During this course we will outline
the characteristics of CAS and how they
differentiate from other speech disorders
and how that impacts a differential
diagnosis. We will walk through the
evaluation process, learn how to choose
targets and write goals that support a motor
planning speech disorder. We learn about
the different treatment approaches
available for CAS and review the Principles
of Motor Learning. Multi-sensory cueing
strategies will be discussed as well as how
to incorporate cueing into therapy. In
person and virtual options available.
