Childhood Apraxia of Speech

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor planning disorder that makes it difficult for children to speak. Children with CAS generally have a good understanding of language and know what they want to say. However, they have difficulty learning or carrying out the complex sequenced movements that are necessary for intelligible speech.
