What is it about?
Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) often requires considerable intervention, and it has been suggested that intensive (massed) intervention is needed. However, findings from the motor learning literature suggest that distributing a given amount of practice over a longer period enhances motor learning. Findings from this well-controlled study with 6 children with CAS, suggest that (a) more practice and (b) more massed (intensive) practice tends to enhance speech motor learning for most children with CAS.
