This workshop will support clinicians to understand the current literature relating to identification and intervention for children 0-3 years.

Thursday 9 November 2023, 1:00 - 4:00pm (AEDT)

Whilst there have been advances in assessment and treatment for older children with CAS, working with very young children who present with early features of the disorder can present clinicians with challenges relating to early identification and intervention.

Learning objectives

Upon successful completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• describe potential early features of CAS identified in the literature
• compare current approaches to early intervention for children at risk of CAS described in the literature
• integrate these early features of CAS and approaches to early intervention in order to plan management.

Who should attend?

Registrants must be speech pathologists.

This workshop is suitable for clinicians with experience working with young children (0-3 years) who may show early signs of speech motor difficulties or those wishing to upskill in this area.

Further course information, zoom links and workshop materials will be made available via the Member Hub closed learning community for this event. Please note this will only be accessible following enrolment.
