[quote=Anonymous]CAS is extremely rare and and an overused diagnosis, but that doesn't mean motor planning issues don't exist. Frequent practice is required to create new motor patterns. I'd ask for something simple you can work on each day for five minutes at home. I would supplement with private b/c more service now means less service later and it is good to have multiple minds and approaches to find what works. Also, private time will be one on one, which generally isn't possible when provided by the county. In this instance, frequency is more important that the length of an individual session. Vowel errors a bit of a red flag, but don't necessarily point to apraxia. Children with true apraxia are highly unintelligible and often end up using AAC. The vowel errors would lead me to an ENT to evaluate hearing and middle ear function. [/quote]
