Vasgdi et al. (2021) investigated non-speech oral motor exercises (NSOMEs). The authors examined 256 initial assessment records and 89 treatment records for children with confirmed or suspected childhood apraxia of speech. Of this sample, 65%-70% also carried a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The authors found associations between speech sound accuracy and oral motor skills. This study adds to existing evidence suggesting that children with childhood apraxia of speech, coordination of oral motor skills may be associated with speech production.
