The Missing Piece 

Many SLPs know that motor speech therapy is essential for autistic children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS). What is often missing is how to adapt therapy so children can fully participate. This course will show you practical ways to support sensory and attentional needs while maintaining the principles of effective motor speech intervention.

I NEED THIS!
LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF 

I'm Alonna Bondar!

I am a PROMPT certified and DTTC trained, and listed on the Apraxia Kids directory.  I am pediatric speech language pathologist with 27 years of experience. I specialize in apraxia and other speech sound disorders. I enjoy working with children with various diagnoses, especially those with down syndrome and autism.

Early on in my career as speech language pathologist, there were some children that were not making adequate progress utilizing a language based therapy approach. I began researching other treatment methods and realized that childhood apraxia of speech was the underlying issue.  Therefore, these children needed a motor based speech approach. 

Over the years I have worked with countless clients with CAS and trained hundreds of SLPs. It became apparent that it was difficult for therapists to find a courses that are easy to understand, engaging, and fully prepares them to work with CAS clients.

I am passionate about CAS education and my goal is to make the information around CAS easy to understand and implement, so you can start working with CAS clients immediately.
