    This episode is a rerun of a previous episode originally published in February, 2021

    This topic is a frequent flyer in our listener questions inbox.  Apraxia?  Severe phonological disorder?  Articulation disorder?  What’s the difference?  Does it even matter?  Turns out, there are some pretty big differences between these diagnostic categories, and it is important to understand what is going on in order to help your client to the best of your ability.  

    Enter our conversation with Mike Bright.  His experience in this area is extensive - and includes recognition from Apraxia Kids for Advanced Training and Expertise in Childhood Apraxia of Speech.  Fortunately for us, and our listeners, Mike was generous enough to sit down with us and talk about one really important piece of this bigger conversation:  Differential diagnosis.  Listen in and learn just what differential diagnosis is, why it is important, and specific components that should be included in an assessment when childhood apraxia of speech is a possibility.

    We had a great time learning from Mike, and we think you will too!  You can learn more about Mike here.

    Learning Outcomes

    1. Describe one reason why differential diagnosis is challenging.

    2. Describe one reason why differential diagnosis is critical in providing appropriate intervention.

    3. Identify four components of an in-depth speech evaluation when childhood apraxia of speech is a possibility.
