Webinar Graphic Addressing Adolescents

As children with a history of CAS reach adolescence, they may continue to have unresolved difficulties with their speech. Some children may have trouble using natural sounding prosody or learning how to produce those later developing speech sounds, such as /r/ and “j.” Other children with more severe CAS may have substantial difficulty achieving the motor control necessary for intelligible speech, especially in the flow of a conversation. This webinar will focus on learning how to help older children learn to improve prosody, acquire a full repertoire of speech sounds, and continue to gain motor control for more intelligible speech. Two case studies will be discussed that illustrate how dynamic evaluation is used to guide selection of meaningful goals and development of treatment plans.
