    Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), also known as developmental apraxia of speech (DAS), is a childhood speech sound disorder caused by the impairment of the motor movements of the articulators related to speech production. This impairment impacts the coordination and accuracy of the muscles used to coordinate the speech production (Vinson, 2001). This disease differs from dysarthria, which impacts the execution of the utterance instead of the planning and programming of the speech movement. The prevalence of this disorder ranges from as low as 1 out of 1000 children per birth to as high as 3-4 children per 100 children (Dale & Hayden, 2013).
