About this listen

Karen Massey is a highly specialist Speech and Language Therapist who is interested in sharing positive clinical experiences that can help others. This book focuses on the co-occurrence of Autism and Childhood Apraxia of Speech. Find out how a group of children, each with both Autism and Childhood Apraxia of Speech, moved from being pre-verbal right through to speaking in sentences.

Faced with the frustrations of not being able to speak even though they had the desire to talk to others, the children could not express their thoughts and feelings. Explore some of the background research, hear the children’s personal stories and learn about the methods used to help each child along the journey. Discover how you can help children with similar needs to develop their speech, whether using their own voice or with the help of an Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) device.

Not really sure who this is for. Not enough detail for clinical or research use, but somehow too dry and clinically-focused for families. Very short. Was hoping this would either really get into the theory behind CAS, or detail some treatment approaches, but it has neither. The “case studies” mentioned are somewhat of a misnomer; you basically learn the kid’s fake name and that they apparently liked treatment and got better, but nothing about the clinical approach or progress. Each case study is read through in about 2-4 minutes and would not pass for an actual case study in a research setting. I’m genuinely beginning to suspect this is advertising material for the Nuffield Apraxia program, as that’s repeatedly referred to in glowing terms, and all of the focus is on how much fun the kid has (as opposed to how the treatment worked, what specifically was done, what specific outcomes were noted). There’s so little out there about CAS, much less CAS + ASD, and I was excited to find what I thought was a book that would give me some more insight into it beyond graduate and clinical training. If you’re here for the same reason, this is not your book.
