Here’s How to Treat Childhood Apraxia of Speech, Second Edition (Here’s How Series) by Margaret Fish offers the most comprehensive guidance on assessing, diagnosing, and treating childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). This second edition is essential for students and professionals seeking up-to-date best practices in addressing this complex communication disorder. Divided into three parts, the book begins with Part I, which defines CAS, describes its common characteristics, and outlines guidelines for conducting a thorough motor speech evaluation to support accurate diagnosis. Part II delves into the principles of motor learning, providing clear instructions on their practical application when working with children who have CAS. In Part III, specific topics are explored, including vowels, prosody, expressive language, social communication, and incorporating phonological awareness in treatment strategies. The book also offers recommendations for supporting children with limited verbal output and older children facing ongoing communicative challenges, as well as guidance on working with parents, developing treatment plans, and writing meaningful goals and objectives.
