Welcome to our dedicated space for Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) therapy at Sherwood Park Speech Therapy. We understand the challenges and concerns that come when your child struggles with speech expression, and we want you to know that you’re not facing this alone. Our team is here to provide support and guidance every step of the way.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech is a motor speech disorder where children have difficulty coordinating the muscle movements necessary for speech. They know what they want to say, but the brain struggles to direct the muscles to produce speech correctly, leading to speech that may sound choppy or difficult to understand. However, the encouraging news is that children with CAS can make remarkable progress with appropriate support.
Our experienced speech-language pathologists specialize in CAS, offering personalized, one-on-one therapy sessions. These sessions are filled with fun and engaging activities designed to keep children motivated and excited about therapy. We firmly believe that therapy should be an enjoyable experience.
Our therapeutic techniques are aimed at enhancing muscle coordination for speech, helping children articulate sounds and words with greater clarity. Through repetitive speech exercises—ranging from simple sounds to complex sentences—we adjust to the child’s pace, ensuring they remain comfortable and supported.
Celebrating each milestone, no matter the size, is an integral part of our therapy process. Every new sound or clearer word is an achievement worth celebrating, highlighting the progress in the child’s speech journey.
Beyond the therapy sessions, we engage parents and caregivers, equipping them with strategies and tools to continue speech development activities at home. This consistent practice outside of therapy is crucial for the advancement of children with CAS.
At Sherwood Park Speech Therapy, our goal is to empower children with CAS to communicate more effectively, boosting their confidence and ensuring they are heard and understood. We believe in the potential of every child to make significant strides in their speech development.
The path may seem daunting, but with our supportive team by your side, you’re not alone. If you’re ready to begin your child’s speech therapy journey or have questions about CAS, please reach out to us. We’re eager to support you and look forward to being part of your child’s success story in communication.
