Course Information
Session 1: Oral musculature assessment – what to look for if you suspect dysarthria or apraxia
Ready to view
Oral Musculature assessments are a key component of differential diagnosis of moderate – profound speech disorders but speech pathologists are often unsure of what they are looking for when they do one, or even how to do one. This session will go through
- the components of an OMA,
- how to observe and elicit differences in structure and function of the speech mechanism,
- discuss key signs of dysarthria, velopharyngeal incompetence and childhood apraxia of speech
- consider how children with different disorders perform in tasks of DDK
Tips and tricks will be provided to help you develop your skills in completing an effective and efficient OMA.
Session 2: Tests, tasks or samples – how to get the most out of an assessment of child speech
Ready to view
Time is short and your caseload is complex so how do you assess children’s speech effectively and efficiently? This session will provide you with both evidence based best practice and hacks and tricks to get the most out of a speech assessment.
Session 3: Differential diagnosis – does this child have dysarthria, apraxia, phonology or something else?
Ready to view
If you have a large tub of mixed lego, how do you sort it so that you know if it is made of one boxed set or several? This workshop will explore how we use speech assessment data and some new (free) tools to work out whether the children we work with have one or more speech disorders. We will talk about the unique characteristics of CAS, dysarthria, VPI and phonology and what they look like when they overlap. Come prepared to join in.

Professor Tricia McCabe
Professor Tricia McCabe's research, teaching and clinical practice are all focused on improving treatments for moderate-severe speech impairments in children and adults. Within this area she has a number of interests including (a) treatments for Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) (also known as dyspraxia), (b) disorders of speech which cause impairments to production of polysyllabic words and longer linguistic units, (c) the comparison of phonological and articulation treatments to demonstrate relative effectiveness and efficiency and (d) the use of ultrasound for biofeedback in speech pathology.
