Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)

Abstract

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) are two separate disorders that can often occur together and have many common points. Childhood apraxia of speech; It is a neurological speech sound disorder that is not accompanied by neuromuscular deficits such as abnormal reflexes, abnormal tone, and is characterized by disorders in the accuracy and consistency of movements that form the basis of speech. Developmental Coordination Disorder, on the other hand, is defined as the child's motor coordination below expectations according to his chronological age Approximately 85% of children with childhood apraxia of speech meet criteria for DCD. It is critical that speech and language therapists, who are the primary experts responsible for the CAS diagnosis, evaluation and intervention process, have knowledge about these two disorders in order to provide the necessary guidance and early intervention. Therefore, this review aims to present the features, similarities and differences of CAS and DCD, which can often be seen together, and also to emphasize collaboration between experts.

Çocukluk Çağı Konuşma Apraksisi (ÇÇKA) ve Gelişimsel Koordinasyon Bozukluğu (GKB)

Abstract

Çocukluk Çağı Konuşma Apraksisi (ÇÇKA) ve Gelişimsel Koordinasyon Bozukluğu (GKB) sıklıkla birlikte ortaya çıkabilen, pek çok ortak noktaları bulunan iki ayrı bozukluktur. Çocukluk çağı konuşma apraksisi; anormal refleksler, anormal tonus gibi nöromüsküler defisitlerin eşlik etmediği, konuşmanın temelini oluşturan hareketlerin doğruluğu ve tutarlılığındaki bozukluklar ile karakterize nörolojik bir konuşma sesi bozukluğudur. Gelişimsel Koordinasyon Bozukluğu ise çocuğun kronolojik yaşına göre beklentilerin altında motor koordinasyon göstermesi şeklinde tanımlanmaktadır. Çocukluk çağı konuşma apraksisi olan çocukların yaklaşık %85’i GKB kriterlerini karşılayabilmektedir. ÇÇKA tanılama, değerlendirme ve müdahale sürecinde birincil sorumlu uzmanlar olan dil ve konuşma terapistlerinin bu iki bozukluk hakkında bilgi sahibi olması, gerekli yönlendirmelerin ve erken müdahalenin yapılabilmesi için kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu nedenle bu derleme ile sıklıkla beraber görülebilen ÇÇKA ve GKB özelliklerini, benzerlikler ve farklılıklarını sunmak ve aynı zamanda uzmanlar arası iş birliğini vurgulamak amaçlanmaktadır.
