Improving Speech Intelligibility in Children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech: Employing Evidence-Based Practice. EBP Briefs. Volume 9, Issue 5
Koehlinger, Keegan M.
EBP Briefs (Evidence-based Practice Briefs)
Clinical Question: Would a preschool-aged child with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) benefit from a singular approach--such as motor planning, sensory cueing, linguistic and rhythmic--or a combined approach in order to increase intelligibility of spoken language? Method: Systematic Review. Study Sources: ASHA Wire, Google Scholar, Speech Bite. Search Terms: childhood apraxia of speech or developmental apraxia of speech AND intervention OR treatment. Number of Studies Included: 11. Primary Results: The greatest volume of evidence was available to support use of a motor-planning approach incorporating integral stimulation and/or Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) approach for children with CAS. Although two studies provided support for a combined approach to treatment, the evidence for motor-planning approaches was more coherent and developed. Conclusions: Jane elected to adopt a motor-planning approach to address the needs of her client, drawing specific treatment characteristics from the published literature.
