Koehlinger, K. M. (2015).

EBP Briefs, 9(5), 1-10.

This review compares single-approach interventions (e.g., motor planning) to a combined-approach intervention (e.g., motor planning plus sensory cueing) on spoken language intelligibility in children, 8 years and younger, with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS).

<div>&ldquo;The greatest volume of evidence was available to support use of a motor-planning approach incorporating integral stimulation and/or Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing approach for children with [childhood apraxia of speech] CAS. Although two studies provided support for a combined approach to treatment, the evidence for motor-planning approaches was more coherent and developed&rdquo; (p. 1).</div>
