Specialized childhood apraxia care
Our Magnolia clinic serves families in Magnolia and nearby The Woodlands and Tomball.
Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor-speech disorder that makes it difficult for a child to plan and coordinate the movements needed for speech.
Because CAS can look similar to other speech sound disorders, a formal evaluation by a licensed speech-language pathologist with specialized experience in motor-speech disorders is important. A comprehensive evaluation helps determine whether a child’s speech characteristics are consistent with CAS and identifies the most appropriate treatment approach for their individual needs.
At Magnolia, Thrive offers comprehensive CAS evaluations, individualized weekly speech therapy, and intensive therapy options. Treatment is tailored to each child and focuses on frequent, structured practice to support speech motor learning, improve speech clarity, and increase functional communication.
