Eight nonverbal children with cerebral palsy were studied prior to and following receipt of an ASD. Total speech tokens increased for 7 of the 8 subjects and diversity of speech sounds increased for 6 subjects. A concomitant improvement in feeding independence was observed for those subjects who demonstrated the greatest increase in speech sound diversity.
