It is important to differentiate children with CAS from other speech disorders, and that you are aware of the characteristics associated with CAS.
A dynamic motor speech assessment
A dynamic motor speech assessment is completed where a clinician provides cues to facilitate performance and can assist with identifying behaviours associated with CAS, make judgements about severity and prognosis, identify what a child can do with cues and also assists with treatment planning.
Identifying CAS behaviours
Cued performance helps the clinician identify behaviours associated with CAS and differentiate CAS from other speech disorders.
Severity and prognosis
The assessment supports judgements about severity and prognosis, so you have a clearer picture of your child's speech.
What your child can do with cues
By providing cues to facilitate performance, the clinician identifies what a child can do with support, not just without it.
Treatment planning
Findings from the dynamic assessment feed directly into planning the right treatment approach for your child.
Cost of a CAS assessment
Cost: 1 hour initial session + approx. 3-5 hours report writing time, at the normal $193.99 per hour (dependent on client complexity)
