Re: will making attempts eventually become successful???

My son takes Efalex also. It was not over night that he started talking

words. In the beginning I noticed more attempts to say different words and

sounds. He now talks in mostly 3-4 word sentences. Yesterday he actually

said seven words. I couldnt believe it. Anyhow his attempts turned into

words. It doesnt always happen in a short period some take longer. Dr.

Stordy says it can take up to three months to see results. Its hard to be

patient but for Liam it has paid off! His articulation is still off but

most people understand him. I can't believe how far we have come in seven

and a half months. Hope this helps and that I understood the question.

Hi

My son is almost 4--his birthday in4/8/98--and he speaks in 3 word sentences

also. He has difficulty pronouncing words and I often interpret for him.

Anyway, I just sent away for the ProEFA, but would like to get the Efaflex as

well, where do you get it?

Hope this is not and imposition,

Thanks,

Nina Fuchs
