Consistency in the form of communication, as well as the development and use of oral communication are extremely important in aiding a childs speech learning process.Many therapy approaches are not supported by thorough evidence; however, the aspects of treatment that do seem to be agreed upon are the following:

Treatment needs to be intense and highly individualized, with about 3–5 therapy sessions each week
A maximum of 30 minutes per session is best for young children
Principles of motor learning theory and intense speech-motor practice seem to be the most effective
Non-speech oral motor therapy is not necessary or sufficient
A multi-sensory approach to therapy may be beneficial: using sign language, pictures, tactile cues, visual prompts, and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) can be helpful.Although these aspects of treatment are supported by much clinical documentation, they lack evidence from systematic research studies. In ASHAs position statement on DVD/CAS, ASHA states there is a critical need for collaborative, interdisciplinary, and programmatic research on the neural substrates, behavioral correlates, and treatment options for DVD/CAS. Integral stimulation
One technique that is frequently used to treat DVD/CAS is integral stimulation. Integral stimulation is based on cognitive motor learning, focusing on the cognitive motor planning needed for the complex motor task of speech. It is often referred to as the "watch me, listen, do as I do" approach and is founded on a multi-step hierarchy of strategies for treatment. This hierarchy of strategies allows the clinician to alter treatment depending upon the needs of the child.
Furthermore, DVD/CAS can occur as a secondary characteristic to a variety of other conditions. These include autism, some forms of epilepsy, fragile X syndrome, galactosemia and chromosome translocations involving duplications or deletions. Diagnosis
Developmental verbal dyspraxia can be diagnosed by a speech language pathologist (SLP) through specific exams that measure oral mechanisms of speech. The oral mechanisms exam involves tasks such as pursing lips, blowing, licking lips, elevating the tongue, and also involves an examination of the mouth. A complete exam also involves observation of the patient eating and talking. Tests such as the Kaufman Speech Praxis test, a more formal examination, are also used in diagnosis. A differential diagnosis of DVD/CAS is often not possible for children under the age of two years old. Even when children are between 2–3 years, a clear diagnosis cannot always occur, because at this age, they may still be unable to focus on, or cooperate with, diagnostic testing. Management
There is no cure for DVD/CAS, but with appropriate, intensive intervention, people with the disorder can improve significantly.DVD/CAS requires various forms of therapy which varies with the individual needs of the patient. Typically, treatment involves one-on-one therapy with a speech language pathologist (SLP). In children with DVD/CAS, consistency is a key element in treatment.
