The Path To Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing: Conversations with Dr. Edythe Strand

In this episode of the Apraxia Foundation Podcast, hosts Laura Smith and Jordan Levan sit down with Dr. Edythe Strand — the pioneering researcher behind DTTC (Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing) — to discuss her 50-year journey developing evidence-based treatment for childhood apraxia of speech. Dr. Strand shares how she adapted adult motor speech techniques for children, why treating apraxia requires a fundamental shift from thinking about sounds to thinking about movement, and her advice for clinicians implementing DTTC. Jordan and Laura also share personal stories — Jordan as someone who grew up with severe apraxia, and Laura as both a clinician and parent of a child with CAS.
