It is often difficult to differentially diagnose a child who is not talking, has difficulty speaking, has unusual sound patterns and appears to be developing speech atypically.  Many children are often mislabeled as “apraxic” when in fact they may have other speech production issues.  It is often difficult to determine which techniques and strategies are the most appropriate for this child.  This two-week course (October 17 and 24) will provide information about the various speech production disorders, their differential diagnosis, therapeutic strategies and techniques, developing appropriate treatment plans, and providing interactive opportunities to apply the course materials.
