This case study describes the speech development of a child (Edward)
between the ages of 3;1 and 4;10, diagnosed with Developmental
Apraxia of Speech (DAS). During that time, Edward received intensive
speech and language services to facilitate his development of intelligible
speech. Treatment techniques and documentation of Edward's remark
able progress will be discussed. Implications of this case study for other
children will also be considered.
