True Confessions with Lisa & Sarah show

Summary: <p>Today we have Noelle Scolieri, M.S. CCC-SLP in the confessional! Noelle is a pediatric speech-language pathologist who holds children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) near and dear to her heart. In today's episode, we discuss how CAS is unique from other speech disorders, including treatment and diagnosis. Though CAS is a speech disorder, it impacts many other areas of a child’s (and their family’s) life. This podcast conversation provides SLPs with the tools and insight to bring into their clinical experiences with current and future clients. <strong>Resources:</strong> IG handle: @anslp2b.</p> <ul> <li>Child Apraxia Treatment (Once Upon A Time Foundation) [Edythe Strand resources]: <a href="https://childapraxiatreatment.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://childapraxiatreatment.org/</a> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Apraxia-Kids website: <a href="https://www.apraxia-kids.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.apraxia-kids.org/</a> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>An amazing book by a parent of a child with CAS called "Speaking of Apraxia (Second Edition): A Parents' Guide to Childhood Apraxia of Speech" </li> </ul> <ul> <li>CAS for parents and clinicians to find resources. <a href="http://www.easypeasyspeech.com/parent-resources.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.easypeasyspeech.com/parent-resources.html</a> </li> </ul>
