Grab and Grow: Apraxia Targets for Early Syllable Shapes

Grab & Grow: Apraxia Targets for Early Syllable Shapes is a thoughtfully designed target deck for young children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) who are early in their speech journey. This deck is not a set of flashcards and not a therapy prescription. Instead, it is a clinical tool created to help therapists intentionally select meaningful, functional targets that support accurate motor planning and smooth speech transitions.

Grounded in both research and real-world clinical experience, this deck highlights coarticulation, movement between sounds, and prosody, which are core challenges in CAS. Each target includes cues on the back of the card to support speech movement, stress, chaining, and natural-sounding productions, keeping essential therapy decisions at your fingertips.
