Guest guest Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Yes they do have to make it up and 2 I don't know how you would approve that the match doesn't work. What is the focus of the therapies? Is it language and pragmatics based? grammar, pronouns etc... Has she met her goals? Have you seen any progress? You should find an SLP who is familiar with apraxia to evaluate and test her. denise > Hi Everyone, > Sorry that i don't post much, i do read everyones posts > though.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hi, . My understanding of the professional literature is that apraxic kids (at least severely apraxic and/or younger kids) need 1:1 as opposed to group therapy (or at least along with group therapy). But rather than saying the group is per se inappropriate (which might be hard to prove), you should instead look at her progress. I.e., is she meeting her IEP goals? If she is progressing as expected (figuring this out isn't easy - ask the school therapist for DATA that demonstrates progress rather than just a bare statement that she's making progress), then the school can argue that ipso facto the group setting is appropriate for her. (Of course, be sure the IEP goals are set high enough that she's progressing as much as she should be able to.) As for missing sessions, the school technically does have to make those up. Realistically, I'd say it depends on whether the amount missed is substantial. If yes, then you can argue her IEP isn't being implemented as written, which is an easy procedural violation to prove and you can threaten a state complaint and/or due process. If the school doesn't have the staff to make up the missed dates, then they can offer " compensatory education " in other ways - e.g., contract out, hire a sub, reimburse you for private therapy, etc. On the other hand, if the missed dates are sporadic and you don't think they affect progress, you may not want to rock the boat - i.e., choose your battles wisely. Hope this helps. Sandy, Illinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 That's an excellent question. I am a full blown type 2 diabetic who takes pills to control my sugar and I had no problem having the implant over 2 years ago. You will have a physical prior to being implanted and they will check your sugar at the time of surgery. I believe they even gave me a small dose of insulin prior to or right after I had surgery. As long as you have medical clearance should be no problem. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I don't think so as I am a borderline diabetic also and was given a CI.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 If you are a borderline diabetic will that disqualify you to be an implant canidate? I have a friend with diabetes who has a CI and was not disqualified. She takes oral medication and has not had a problem. I do not see why that would matter...many people with health problems other than their hearing loss qualify for a CI. Deb H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hi Kirsten, Your father will probably need to expect that it will take him a few weeks (4 or 5 )to get fit again and strong. It will also depend on what type of surgery they do. If they do open surgery - cut into the stomach wall - he will be needing a bit longer to recover, but if they do laparoscopic surgery where they use a special instrument and go in to the place where surgery is required there will only be 5 small cuts - he will be up and about sooner. A lot will also depend on how fit and well he is now. As for eating - he will probably be told to eat soft food for a week or more and then slowly introduce solid stuff - a lot will depend on how he feels as well. It is best to take it slowly. Smaller meals more often usually works well. I was 65 when I had my open surgery. It took me a good 4 weeks to get strong and feel well enough to go out and drive my car. Mine was not just a straightforward Heller's myotomy, but a huge hernia repair as well. Eating came slowly - I felt full after only a little food. Some people are lucky and eat "normally" again soon, but this condition is not cured by surgery - it only relieves a problem and he may have to go carefully about eating for the rest of his life. Please give him our best regards and wish him well from another senior citizen! Let us know how he does and tell him we will be thinking of him.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I feel the same as several as you. By child, now 3 months was born with facial assemtry and tort at 2 weeks. He also has plagio now from the tort. He has head down in the same place in utero for a LONG time, maybe months. I had contractions, about 5 min apart for several weeks before he was born. I ask myself should the OB have known something was not " right " ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi Jennfier, I don't think this is anything an OB can prevent. My twins were cramped eutro also and were head down from day one so Baby A's head was down low for a long time. I also had early contractions which put me on bedrest for the last three months. I continured to have contractions and actually didn't even think how this could be involved in the whole plagio thing. But in any case......the important thing now is to do the repositioning as best you can and monitor the progress. Take lots of pics each week. Please don't blame yourself or your OB.....you can only blame yourself later on if you do nothing now. HUGS I know how you feel. Both my twins have head shape problems.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 , I spoke to my OB about this at my yearly check-up. Basically she was not going to deliver me early because there was a possiblity my daughter might have plagio or tort. It's a risk/benefit thing. Now with this pregnancy she made me promise I wouldn't freak out if this baby dropped early like na. The best place for your baby (most of the time) is inutero until 38 weeks minimum. Tort and plagio are "easily" corrected outside the womb. It's more of a pediatrician issue than OB. Not all babies who drop early have tort and develop plagio. Yes, it's a risk. We also discussed forcep and vacuum delivery which can possibly caue some slight neck muscle damage (which might lead to tort which might lead to plagio). Again she went for risk/benefit. When a OB (at least my OB) uses forceps or vacuum then they are at a point when the baby needs to be delivered or there could be big consequences - loss of oxygen, brain damage, or even death. After a certain point you can't turn back, the baby has to delivered vaginally. Ultrasounds and technology are great but they can't tell for certain yet, how big the baby is (I've heard they can be off +/- 1lb or more) or how big the head will be compared to the mom's pelvis. I think the best thing to do is talk to your OB. Tell them what you know. Maybe then they can pass along some repo and preventative info to their patients that show certain symptoms or maybe just all patients. The other issue is that vaginal births do lead to cone shaped heads. The skull plates are designed to shift during birth to allow the baby to pass through the pelvis. So, what looks normal to an OB may actually turn out to be plagio in 6 weeks when it hasn't "rounded out". Actually cone head is usually gone within 48 hours, maybe a little longer for forceps and vacuum births. My daughter literally had the same head shape at birth and 2 months. But at birth she looked like a lot of the discovery health "Birth Day" babies. So basiclly don't beat up the OB - go after the ped mom to na DOC Grad 2/04 Tort Resolved South Carolina www.thefilyaws.com joshuasmom3 <more25@...> wrote: I feel the same as several as you.
