Apraxia Screener

The Apraxia Screener Built for How You Actually Work

Early identification changes everything. When a child is showing signs of motor speech difficulties, having a reliable apraxia screener in your toolkit means you can move forward with confidence rather than uncertainty. At Bjorem Speech & Literacy, we understand how much is riding on those early clinical decisions, and we've built our screening tools to meet that weight with clarity, precision, and ease of use.

Designed by speech-language pathologists who work directly with children every day, our screening resources take the guesswork out of a process that has historically asked too much of clinicians with too little support. That changes here.

Why an Apraxia Screener Matters More Than Most People Realize

Childhood apraxia of speech is one of the most misunderstood and frequently misidentified speech sound disorders. Children with CAS are often mislabeled, undertreated, or sent down intervention paths that simply do not match their actual profile. The consequences of that can follow a child for years. A well-designed apraxia screener is the first line of defense against that outcome.

Bjorem Speech was founded by Jennie Bjorem, M.A., CCC-SLP, a specialist in childhood apraxia of speech who travels the world training speech-language pathologists on how to accurately assess, diagnose, and treat CAS. That depth of clinical expertise is embedded in every screening tool we create. This is not surface level work. It is a commitment to getting it right for the children who need it most.

What Sets Our Screening Tools Apart

There are a lot of materials on the market, but very few are developed with the same level of clinical rigor and real world application that defines the Bjorem catalog. Here is what you can expect from our approach:

• Research-aligned methodology rooted in the latest evidence on motor speech disorders and CAS identification
• Developed by practicing SLPs who understand the realities of caseloads, limited time, and the need for tools that are fast without sacrificing accuracy
• Child-centered design that keeps the experience approachable and low-pressure for the child being screened
• Clear, actionable results that support confident clinical decision making and next step planning
• Durable, practical formats built to hold up in busy therapy rooms and school-based settings

We also know that no two caseloads look the same. Our tools are designed to be flexible enough to serve school-based SLPs, private practice clinicians, early intervention specialists, and university faculty training the next generation of therapists.

Screening Is Just the Beginning

An apraxia screener is a starting point, not a finish line. Once you have identified a child who may be presenting with CAS, the next step is building an intervention plan grounded in evidence and tailored to that child's specific needs. That is where the broader Bjorem Speech catalog comes in. From motor speech cue card decks to articulation and phonological awareness tools, we offer a connected ecosystem of resources that support the full arc of a child's progress, from initial screening through ongoing therapy.

Every product in our collection is inclusive and visually rich, because children respond better to materials that reflect their world and feel engaging rather than clinical and cold. Our apraxia cards follow the same philosophy. We combine research based practices with thoughtful, modern design so that the tools in your hands are ones both you and your students will actually want to use.

Trusted by SLPs Across the Country and Around the World
