Abstract

Professional bodies representing SLTs / speech pathologists across the UK and USA have produced documentation confirming the existence of developmental verbal dyspraxia (DVD) / childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) as a rare but distinct condition, reversing previous opinion about it being a controversial diagnosis. Additionally, DVD/CAS is acknowledged as a long-term condition with life-long consequences, particularly if appropriate and/or sufficient intervention is not received during formative years and into adolescence (McCabe, P. et al. 2020).
