Abstract

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a relatively new topic in the field of speech-language pathology. One of the latest treatment approaches concerning CAS is rapid syllable transition treatment (ReST). Rapid syllable transition (ReST) represents a motor programming approach using repetition of varied sequences of real and nonsense syllables to train motor planning flexibility. The purpose of this critically appraised topic was to determine the treatments significance within literature. Three relevant studies were found using the databases of PubMed, speechBITE, Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), and CINAHL These studies proved to be effective in areas of the participant's ability to acquire new skills, generalize these skills to untreated items and maintain the skills after treatment was examined. Although these studies displayed evidence of effectiveness, more research must be conducted in areas of generalization over longer periods of time and parent education.
