- Incorporate phonemic and phonological awareness into motor speech therapy
- Do you work with children who have Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)?
- Are you challenged with how to diagnose it, as well as how to treat it?
- If you answered yes, to either question, this workshop is for you!
Join Amy Skinder-Meredith, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, an expert in motor speech disorders, and learn effective assessment techniques that will allow you to be more confident in your diagnosis. Case examples of both English and Spanish speaking children will be used to guide us in careful observations pertinent to differential diagnosis and determining the relative contribution of various factors to the child’s communication disorder. We will focus on where to begin treatment and how to provide ongoing treatment for these children. Much of the emphasis on treatment will include implementing motor learning principles along with systematic, careful construction of stimuli that is both rewarding and functional for the client. You will learn fun ways to incorporate phonological awareness into speech therapy in a way that promotes a positive self-esteem. Treatment techniques will be demonstrated through video examples and will apply to a variety of ages and levels of severity. You will also learn the latest research regarding literacy issues found in children with CAS.
