This in-person course will address these needs by defining CAS and exploring its characteristics, especially how it differs from other speech disorders, using video examples for clarity. Participants will be guided through the evaluation process, learning how to select therapy targets and set appropriate goals. We’ll cover various therapeutic approaches, with an emphasis on Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) and motor-based planning strategies. Additionally, we’ll introduce multi-sensory cueing techniques and how to integrate these cues effectively into therapy.  Real-life video footage of preschool and early school-age children engaged in therapy will be included to illustrate practical strategies, enhancing understanding and application of techniques for treating CAS.  

Lunch and tea breaks provided.
