![]() If a child cannot benefit from or does not receive intrinsic sensory feedback, theoretically it is possible that external or imposed feedback can help facilitate speech production skills. Feedback is an important aspect of motor learning. Essentially then, each speech attempt would be akin to the “first time”, with children with CAS failing to incorporate the sensory results of their speech effort into their next speech attempt. Perhaps the feedback is faulty, reduced, or otherwise inadequate to provide meaningful assistance to the motor learning process. One theory is that children with CAS do not benefit from sensory-motor feedback for their speech attempts in the same way as typically developing children do. It is not yet understood exactly why such “inputs” assist in the articulatory accuracy or “speech motor learning” of children with CAS. Use of multisensory strategies may incorporate input that is visual, auditory, proprioceptive and tactile in order to teach the child the movement sequences for speech. Overall, most treatment methods in the professional literature describe variations of therapeutic multisensory input to the affected child. ![]()
