This simple, parent- and therapist-friendly tool is designed to help identify red flags for Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) in young children. It includes a carefully selected set of words across a range of syllable shapes (e.g. CV, VC, CVC, CVCVCV) to elicit speech patterns commonly affected in apraxia.
The screener is accompanied by clear scoring sections and practical interpretation tips, including:
A wide variety of target words increasing in complexity
Space to record accuracy across trials
Guidance on key red flags to listen for
Scoring guidance for both 3-year-olds and 4+ children
This screener is not a diagnostic tool, but can help guide further referral or therapy planning. It’s best used in conjunction with professional support, and parents are encouraged to share the completed screener with their speech pathologist.
