Description
- I primarily assess and treat severe and problematic cases of suspected Childhood Apraxia of Speech in the Stockholm area, referred by community-based SLPs. In addition, I treat children born with CLP that are using nasal frikatives/gottal articulation, using motor-based approaches. Treatment is based on DTTC and during summer intensive treatment periods (16 session) are offered to children from all parts of Sweden. School-aged children with CAS and comorbidities are prioritized.
