My son is twenty-six months and has mild hypotonia. He started EI at

14 months for communication skills. Speech therapy started about four

months ago. He definately has low tone in the mouth. He drools alot

and stuffs his mouth. He hasn't had any other feeding issues. Since

starting speech therapy he is doing very well. He has about fifty

words and is starting to put two words together. His therapist who

was sure it was Apraxia is now saying she might have been wrong. I

don't care about the diagnosis. I just want to get therapy and see

improvement. Whether it be Apraxia or not. My question is " Can you

have low tone in your mouth and not be Apraxic? " . I was always under

the impression that the two went together. Thanks in advance.
