(Shriberg et al., 2003) found only a 55% agreement between clinicians on 35 speech
sounds in the differentiation between CAS and non-CAS groups. Furthermore, many children
with CAS have co-occuring disorders and different compensatory behaviors (Strand, 2001).
Despite the conflicting studies, there is a consensus among researchers that children with CAS
will show deficits in one or more of the following areas: nonspeech motor behaviors, motor
speech behaviors, metalinguistic awareness, language, prosody, and literacy.
Children with CAS exhibit a variety of characteristics depending on the stage of
development. Young children with the disorder may not babble or coo during infancy. These
children typically have delayed speech development

Although all
children have difficulty with phonotactic speech errors, consonant harmony, and final consonant
deletion in the first 12–18 months of life, these issues persist past the age of 3 in children with
CAS (ASHA, n.d.).
Older children with CAS make inconsistent sound errors that are not due to immaturity. It
is common for children with CAS to display vowel distortions, initial consonant deletions,
consonant substitutions, and schwa additions to consonant clusters. Their expressive language
skills are significantly poorer than their receptive language skills. They also have difficulty
imitating speech and may appear to have difficulty with motor coordination when formulating
sounds. Children with CAS also have difficulty expressing themselves when anxious and
struggle more with longer phrases than shorter ones. Other possible characteristics of CAS
include groping behaviors, inappropriate prosody, word confusion, difficulty with word recall,
fine motor coordination and movement difficulty, hypersensitive or hyposensitive mouths, and
literacy issues. (ASHA, n.d.).
Assessment
Since the diagnostic criteria for CAS are not firmly established, the challenge
Early symptoms may not even be apparent to the primary care physicians unless they are directly assessed. This is a growing concern in terms of the escalating potential of
Another example is when the child doesn 't know how to read (dyslexia), the
Some children can potentially have speech, language and communication needs due to another condition, such as ADHD hearing difficulties and autism. This is why interventions are extremely important so that this is noticed early on. If not picked up on, this poses risk of them falling behind currently and not being able to access the full curriculum. They may get frustrated because they don’t have the word’s or skills to communicate how they are feeling. Friendships with their peers will be hard to make/maintain as they will be perceived as being naughty and this will have a knock-on effect on their social situations.
Interested parents can choose to participate on an advisory council. This committee works with GATE resource teachers, school administrators, general education teachers, and other school personnel to receive updates, provide feedback, and ask questions related to GATE programs. The advisory council meets at least three times a year in order to ensure that the education of every child is enhanced by assisting with program planning and assessment. The role of parent representatives is to serve as a liaison between the school’s GATE program and the school community. Parents may find information about joining the local advisory council by meeting with a school administrator or the GATE coordinator.
ADHD affects behaviour and social development in that they get easily frustated, which could be the same children with Autism this affects there Emotional and social development. Dyslexia is a condition that affects learning literacy so what they think they are reading may not be what is actually there so they get stuck with understand letters they may
Children learn new things through everyday life experience. Especially, young children who attend to the program of day-care or preschool can develop speaking skills while they play and interact with peers and teachers, such as free play time, teacher-directed activities, and having snack and lunch together. According to Janice J. Beaty (2014), “spoken language is one of the important skills” (p. 197) and a child’s language acquisition begins at birth and progress through everyday life: young children go through the four stages, Preproduction (just listen) Transition to Production (response with single-word answers), Early Production (speak short phrases, do chat, sing, and have a simple conversation), Expansion of Production (speak expanded
Research concerned with the phonological aspects has provided evidence that stuttering is increased as a function of language complexity ]6, 7[. A simple but functional definition of pragmatic is simply known as that it is the language use or the set of sociolinguistic rules one knows and uses in determining who says what to whom, how, why, when, and in what situation ]9[. Swiney ]10[ indicated by his clinical observations of children and young adults who stutter, that both often have situational speaking fears associated with their fluency disorder, and that they also. What was not expected, however, is the frequency that these speakers exhibit pragmatic weakness as well. This coincides with reports by Blood and Seider ]11[ who indicated that 68% of the CWS have at least one concomitant
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Phonological awareness skill of experimental group and control group was compared by using independent sample t-tail test. Further Pearson product correlation test was used to check relationship between phonological awareness skills with linguistic skills, speech perception and production of the CI. When phonological skills compared between control subject and CI users statically significant difference was seen. Control subjects were having superior ability in phonological awareness than children with CI.
Providing small cubbies, low-level small windows, small scaled furniture and small-scaled areas gives them a sense of competence and safety as they no longer feel vulnerable. In other words, breaking up a larger volume into smaller components and contrasting the big picture against the small all help children to come to terms with the world around them. Children love challenges. They do not move from directly from a point A to another point B in a straight manner; that’s what adults do. Instead, children like to create obstacles, hide-and-seek, mazes etc.
This does not refer to the disorders by which children who are developing have an inability to say words correctly. The cause of this disorder is often unknown. Their speech sound production differs from culturally normal, appropriate, speech expectations. Children with this disability struggle to differentiate and produce phonemes or sounds in order to construct words. Articulation disorders involves errors in producing sounds.
By four years children are communicating in four to five-word sentences and can be understood by anyone.” (Communication Difficulties -
DEVELOPMENT There are three major ways that the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (2015) considers to affect children with a hearing impairment: delay in development of receptive and expressive communication skills such as speech and language (ASLHA 2015; Hussain et al. 2011), Language deficit, and communication difficulties which often lead to social isolation and poor self-esteem (ASLHA 2015). Other than that children with hearing impairments also have difficulty developing their vocabulary, and learning functional worlds like an, a, the, and are (ASLHA 2015). Due to these reasons children will comprehend and produce shorter and simpler sentences (ASLHA 2015). Children with hearing loss often struggle with quiet speech sounds

Specific Language Impairment Language is imperative in every aspect and communication in our daily lives. We interact and communicate effectively with our words, gesture or mimic to give information to the people around. Linguistic competence is at the mental level and suddenly articulated through speech organs. According to the Piaget’s theory in language acquisition that children in 5 years will have a vocabulary between 10,000 and 15,000 words. It follows that, there are some stages of language acquisition that children will pass to get perfectly language in their olds.
Early intervention is also important because the first few months of a child’s life are the vital days of the development of language and communication skills of a child. Typically, at the twenty fourth week of pregnancy the inner ear is fully developed and the child is able to catch some sounds. On the few months of the succeeding birth, the child begins to distinguish several sounds such as human language or dialogue, and by age two, the foundations for language (hearing and speaking) are developing. A given intervention tool used to this stage is the Apgar Scale. In Apgar Scale, the score is given for each sign at one minute and five minutes after the birth.
