This webinar introduces the Colorado Motor Speech Framework (CMSF), a free clinical tool designed to support the assessment and differential diagnosis of motor speech disorders, including dysarthria and apraxia of speech. Participants will learn about current limitations in motor speech evaluation and how the CMSF was developed to provide a more efficient and structured approach to documenting speech and nonspeech observations. The session will provide a practical tutorial on administering and scoring the CMSF, interpreting diagnostic patterns, and translating results into a clinical evaluation write-up. Clinical examples will be used to illustrate how the framework can support differential diagnosis and identification of mixed motor speech disorders.
