Hi!
I am currently seeing a student whom I suspect might have a mild case of childhood apraxia of speech, but I would like some clarification. He seems to only have trouble with a few multisyllabic words, such as pyjamas and envelope. He is otherwise fairly intelligible with other words. At the sentence-level, he experiences some difficulty repeating, as he will omit words and slight groping is noticed. He has no oral structure/function issues, and his diadochokinesis is good. I'm looking for some guidance in how to further assess to determine whether it is a mild case of childhood apraxia of speech.
Thanks!
