Re: Size and apraxia

[Guest guest]

Same here. I don't think size has anything to do with it.

Lindsey is small for her age. She is 34 pounds fully dressed and 41 or 42

inches with shoes.

She is 5.7

I don't think that size necessarily has anything to do with any delays. In

my daughter's case, the dr. was found to be wrong in his quick assumption

that she had an overgrowth syndrome. However, with some kids, there is a real

connection between size and delays, namely Sotos Syndrome which is one of

many overgrowth syndromes. However, even if a child has an overgrowth

syndrome, the therapies are still the same. I am still on the sotos egroup

list because there are similarities such as low tone and speech delays.

Hi Liz

My is small for his age too. I always figured it was due to his

problems feeding as a baby & reflux. Now he is such a terrible

eater, that probably is the biggest factor currently. If there were

some link to apraxia & size I would think it would tend to be small,

since many had oral apraxia as infants & it affected the eating.

Wish we all had some answers, it would put some of our minds at

ease.

How is the snow? We almost jumped in the car & headed your way this

weekend. We have 3 generations that have never seen snow down here

in St. Pete. Maybe next time it snows we will be in your part of the

world. Enjoy it!!

[ ] Size and apraxia

I have heard alot of comments about the children being taller or

larger and having apraxia...my daughter is small for her age, she is

one of the smallest in her class, she will be 5 in May, and really

looks more like she is in her late 3's. Just a comment...
