Which method is part of the motor programming approaches for children with CAS?

Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) is a method specifically designed for children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) that focuses on the motor programming aspects of speech production. This approach utilizes a combination of temporal and tactile cues to help children learn and practice the motor sequences necessary for producing speech sounds and words. The aim is to enhance the child's ability to transition between sounds and syllables smoothly, thereby improving their overall speech intelligibility.

DTTC emphasizes the importance of providing immediate feedback and adjusting cues based on the child's responses. This individualized approach allows the therapist to tailor the cues to the child's specific needs and promotes the practice of motor planning in a supportive environment. By encouraging the use of both auditory and tactile stimuli, DTTC helps facilitate the development of motor skills crucial for speech.

The other methods mentioned, while valuable in their own right, do not specifically focus on the motor programming aspect of CAS. The Cycles approach primarily addresses phonological skills, Melodic intonation therapy utilizes musical elements to facilitate language production, and fluency shaping targets the fluency of speech rather than the motor processes underlying speech production.
