Episode 60:  In this episode, Kim and Mary break down the definition of Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), a speech disorder that affects the motor planning of language from the brain to the mouth, much like a glitch in computer coding. They discuss how parents and providers can be aware of the unique markers of apraxia, and the vital role of a speech therapist skilled in using a motor-based therapy approach.  This episode is an invaluable resource for comprehensively understanding and managing Childhood Apraxia of Speech effectively.
