Apraxia Kids is committed to providing quality, accurate information which is available from a variety of sources. Evidence-based practice is information that is supported by research showing its effectiveness. Research is necessary to give clinicians guidance about what are best practices for assessment, diagnosis, and treatment in order to make the best decisions for each child with CAS.

With the assistance of our Professional Advisory Council, information that is posted on our website is reviewed initially and over time for its appropriateness and accuracy. Apraxia Kids is committed to updating and adding new content to support our families and professional community to pursue evidence-based practice.
