WelcomeTami and Newbies Included!

[Guest guest]

Hi Tami and Newbies,

Welcome to our elite group! It is wonderful to have you here with us

and I enjoyed getting to know some about you with your introduction. I

have two son's with apraxia, along with several other apraxic kids on this

list, that have this speech disorder. Also there are parents on this list

that have kids with other conditions and different symptoms, yet we relate

and have much the same concerns and struggles for our children. You will

find lots of support, warmth, understanding from our members.

I am not aware of Ventral Septal Defects, yet it is known that apraxia

can co-exist with other primary conditions, such as Autism to name

one of many. Apraxia also is a neurological condition, and often there

are other " soft " neurological signs that even some parents or

pediatricians do not find until a child is somewhat older. For this

reason it is best have apraxic children evaluated by both speech and

neurodevelopmental medical professionals. It's great to know that you

already have professionals working with your daughter. Early

intervention is significant and can be the key advantage to your

child's successful outcome.

Wow! You have 2 sets of twins! I am a twin to a sister and know we

were lots of work for our dear parents! You do sound like a wonderful

and busy mom! I do look forward to you joining us at the list. Be sure

to search for answers in the " Archives " and " FAQ " found in the bookmark

section at /

(Thanks to CHERAB's , who has taken valued time, among many other

duties, to organize and compile FAQ for our group!)

Below- I have listed my favorite informative websites on Apraxia. These

sites are " parent friendly " with a personal unique touch, which is why I

find them special and highly recommend them to everyone. Most impressive,

all dedicated, working together for the sake of our children!

Best Wishes,

Mustafa
