Ming (Agents of Speech) explains early signs and diagnostic challenges for childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). She notes diagnosis timing varies by country (often between ages 3–6, sometimes not until ~5–6), that therapists often initially record a "suspected" diagnosis, and highlights family history (genetic factors) and a receptive–expressive language gap (child understands much more than they can say) as common early indicators.

Apraxia of speech, or some people call it childhood apraxia of speech. There are some early signs that I can see for apraxia of speech, but most of the time it's going to be suspected. The reason is before the age of 3 to 4 or maybe sometimes in other countries deem AOS apraxia of speech or CAS in different countries to be only diagnosed at around 5, 6. Like from 3 to 6. It varies. A lot of times when you see the speech therapist, they say, oh, I suspect is the diagnosis will say s and then CAs like suspected childhood asprexia of speech. Some early signs that therapists will look into. Is there a family history of apraxia? Right. Most of the time it's genetical. Right. Presence of receptive ability and expressive ability. Language gap. Right. There's a gap, meaning they understand you a lot better than they can speak. There's a huge gap. Probably.
