[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what my SLP friend (a really wonderful one) said.

"Here is what I will say. There are two possibilities. One, severe phonological disorder, which is common. Two, apraxia of speech, which is rare and treated entirely differently. Most likely the issue is #1, but if she finds a clinician with expertise in the rare disorder, they’ll be able to treat either. Not necessarily the other way around. Look for someone with specialization in Childhood Apraxia of Speech who uses either DTTC or REST. But I did NOT diagnose that or even think it’s the most likely explanation. Just that someone with that training will know what they are treating"[/quote]

This is good advice. I had two kids. DS with CAS and one with phonological disorder. The one diagnosed with CAS made good progress over years of intensive speech. DS with phonological disorder was eventually stuck and couldn’t get the r sound. After struggling to find a good SLP for him since he was older, the SLP who specialized in CAS agreed to work with him. She made quick progress.  [/quote]
