This extended Clinical Bite session will be two hours in duration and presented in two parts. The sessions are designed to provide an overview of assessing, diagnosing and treating children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS).
In the first session, we will review research driven assessment tools and diagnostic criteria used by CAS researchers. The second session will cover goal setting for treatment and review current evidence based treatment approaches for CAS.
Sessions will include a case study that will be integrated throughout the learning content. There will be an extended presentation of 90 minutes plus 30 minutes of Q&A at the end.
You are welcome to attend either session, however, it is strongly recommended that participants attend both Clinical Bites to gain a holistic understanding of CAS from assessment through to treatment. Individuals registering for both sessions will receive a 25% discount at checkout (see additional information below).
