In 2003 ASHA formed an Ad Hoc Committee on Apraxia of Speech in Children, with a charge of examining practice related to apraxia in children and to determine and develop appropriate practice policy documents. Committee members are Lawrence Shriberg, chair; Christina Gildersleeve-Neumann; David Hammer; Rebecca McCauley; and Shelley Velleman. Celia Hooper is monitoring vice president. The committee, which will meet in May at the National Office, is completing a review of the literature related to CAS and is drafting a technical report and position paper for examination by a diverse group of reviewers. Members will explore professional issues, genetic and other neurodevelopmental frameworks, multicultural content, as well as assessment and treatment approaches. The committee hopes to have documents prepared for peer review by late fall.
