Guest guest Posted August 6, 2001 Report Share Posted August 6, 2001 Hi, my name is Amy and I have two children. My eldest is Cody, who is 22.5 months old. My youngest is Chloe, 7 months. Just in case you are wondering, it is Cody who brings me to this list, LOL. I took him to a speech therapist at 18 months, who recommended he get around other kids more to get him talking. Hmmm, we do that, and it isn't working. We are in the process of moving four states away, (we should be moved within 2-3 months) so when we get to Virginia I will insist on therapy ASAP. Within in the last two weeks, he started saying two words. Ma for mom and " J " for juice. Oh, I forgot... " J " for cheese. So he is almost two and he says two words. I have been researching apraxia, and once we move I am hoping to either get a diagnosis or rule out verbal apraxia. I don't think he has oral apraxia. Anyway, I have a question about EFAs...I read on the apraxia.coc website that they can be great for kids who have speech delays and apraxia. I am not sure how to word this..but are any of you worried about potential side effects with long term use of EFAs every day in small children? Are your pediatricians for or against the EFAs??? Thank you for allowing me to join your list! -Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
