Overview of Webinar:
Research has shown that children with CAS and other speech sound disorders are at a high risk for difficulties in phonemic and phonological awareness skills and thus often have difficulty in reading and writing. Some research has also shown that addressing these skills can actually help improve speech production accuracy as well as reading skills. The purpose of this seminar is to discuss ways that phonemic and phonological awareness skills can be worked on at home as well as incorporated into the speech language therapy session.
