Do most students who are diagnosed with CAS have reading difficulty? What does the research suggest?
Answer
Children with CAS are often at risk for reading and writing difficulties that may persist throughout their lives. The apraxia-kids.org website contains updated information and research findings written in a parent-friendly manner. The articles are actually quite wonderful for clinicians as well. If you go to that website, you can find numerous articles on CAS and reading difficulties. You want to try to get these kids as much support in reading and writing as you can as early as possible.
