The Impact of Individual-Level Factors on Progress in Speech Therapy for Children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)
Beiting (PI), Co-Sponsors: Maas, Coffman, & Iuzzini-Seigel
This Predoctoral Individual National Research Service Award (F31) investigates individual-level baseline factors which may facilitate or impede response to treatment for CAS. We will examine 40 children who previously participated in or are currently participating in treatment for CAS (funded by R01 DC017768; PI: Maas; ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT03903120), and examine the relationship between the identified person-level factors and response to treatment as captured by changes in speech accuracy.

Autism-Centered Therapy for Childhood Apraxia of Speech (ACT4CAS)
The First Summers Research Initiative is an internally funded peer-reviewed grant funded by the Graduate School at Temple University. The goal of this student-initiated single case investigation was to examine the effects of ACT4CAS; the first treatment approach designed for children with co-occurring autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and childhood apraxia of speech (CAS).
