Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) Observation Checklists: Set of 12
Documenting Childhood Apraxia of Speech depends on patterns noticed across sessions, not a single score. These 12 observation checklists give you a fast way to capture the hallmark features of CAS in writing.
What's Inside
- Inconsistent speech sound errors
- Motor planning and sound sequencing
- Transitions between sounds and syllables
- Vowel accuracy and distortions
- Prosody, stress and rate of speech
- Automatic phrases versus voluntary productions
- Oral motor movements for non-speech tasks
- Response to visual, verbal and tactile cueing
- Intelligibility across listeners and settings
- Effort and visible struggle behaviors
- Emotional and behavioral impact during speech tasks
- Carryover to classroom communication and academic work
Each form has student name, date, observer and grade/class, ten specific areas with check boxes and a notes column.
How It Helps You
- Turns what you listen for into documentation you can share with a team
- Supports differential diagnosis, progress monitoring and IEP goal writing
- Editable, so you can match your district's documentation style
