  • A second rationale for the use of CAS as a cover term for this disorder, rather than alternative terms such as developmental apraxia of speech (DAS) or developmental verbal dyspraxia (DVD) , is that our literature review indicated that apraxia of speech occurs in children in three clinical contexts. (asha.org)
