Episode Summary

I’m just going to put it out there-motor speech is hard.  Is it Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) or not?  How do I know for sure? What do I do to help?!  Are the speech police going to come take my C’s away if I don’t do it right?  This week, Apraxia extraordinaire Mike Bright returns, offering illuminating  tools and strategies to help you look at (and listen to) your students’ speech sound challenges in a whole new way. If you’re a CAS newbie, you might want to tune in to previous episodes with Mike to get the basics before diving in here.  This episode is the first of its kind on SLP Nerdcast, blending engaging case study audio with a graphic organizer on steroids to help improve your clinical ear and motor speech-related reasoning.  Get the scoop on what to listen for to help you answer those tough motor speech differential dx questions and apply theory to practice as you listen along with Kate and Amy for the unique speech features often present in children with motor speech difficulties.  Tune in to get some new “ear glasses” and start seeing real progress in those tough speech cases.  No speech police, promise.
