Word Interpretation of Graph
• CAS is estimated to occur in 1 to 2
children per 1,000.

• CAS population estimated in being

higher in male children than in female
children in accordance with a 2–3:1
ratio.

 Currently, there are no validated diagnostic in differentiating • delayed language development;

CAS from other childhood speech sound disorders.
 However, three suprasegmental features showing consistency
with deficits in planning and programming of voluntary
movements gained consensus:
• expressive language problems, such as word order confusion
and grammatical errors;
• problems learning to read, spell, and write; and

i. Inconsistent errors on consonants and vowels during • problems with social language/pragmatics.
production repetition of syllables or words.

ii. Lengthened and disrupted transitional coarticulatory

between sounds and syllables.

iii. Inappropriate prosody, especially in the realization of

rhetoric or derivational stress.

• The presence of error patterns in the child’s speech does not necessarily indicate a
phonological problem rather than a motoric problem. These patterns have either linguistic or
motoric functionality. In this instance, a child consistently reduces consonant clusters
because of a lack of understanding: the phonological rule or motoric inability to sequence
consonants.
