Hi there,
Recently my nearly 3 year old was diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS).

Children with CAS have problems saying sounds, syllables, and words. This is not because of muscle weakness or paralysis. The brain has problems planning to move the body parts (e.g., lips, jaw, tongue) needed for speech. The child knows what he or she wants to say, but his/her brain has difficulty coordinating the muscle movements necessary to say those words.

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this or also has a child who has CAS. Be great to talk to other with or who have experienced this....]]> Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:15:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44280&PID=5874024&title=apraxia#5874024
