Exam 15: Evidence-Based Practice in Practice
Choose two associations that support children with speech sound disorders (e.g., The Childhood Apraxia of Speech Association of North America (CASANA); Afasic) and explain how they support children with speech sound disorder and their families, speech-language pathologists and the wider community.
Two associations that support children with speech sound disorders are The Childhood Apraxia of Speech Association of North America (CASANA) and Afasic.
CASANA provides resources and support for children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) and their families. They offer educational materials, workshops, and conferences to help parents and caregivers better understand and support their child's communication needs. CASANA also provides funding for research and advocates for policies that support children with CAS.
Afasic is a UK-based organization that supports children with speech and language impairments, including speech sound disorders. They offer a helpline, support groups, and information resources for families and professionals. Afasic also works to raise awareness and understanding of speech and language impairments in the wider community.
Both associations support children with speech sound disorders and their families by providing valuable resources, information, and support. They also offer guidance and training for speech-language pathologists to improve their ability to diagnose and treat speech sound disorders. Additionally, they work to raise awareness and understanding of speech sound disorders in the wider community, reducing stigma and promoting inclusivity for children with communication challenges. Overall, these associations play a crucial role in supporting children with speech sound disorders and their families, as well as the professionals and communities that serve them.
