disappointed with the ped. neurologist

[Guest guest]

I took my daughter to the Pediatric Neurologist today and to say the

least I was very disappointed!!!!

I told him that I felt that my daughter had Apraxia and he said

nothing to me. I then, proceeded and said I don't know how well read

you are on Apraxia but, they have found that Omega 3 and Omega 6

fatty acids are helping. He then spoke up and said, I don't know if

I believe that. They haven't done enough studies on the subject, but

you are welcome to try. I said well, I am giving them to her and I

have seen results. I told him what I was giving her and again he

said nothing.

She is currently diagnosed with Developmental Delay. She is not

Developmentally Delayed, her only problem is her speech. I am

getting so mad. I don't know where to go for her education, and I

think that her dx should be changed.

I currently in search of a Pediatric Neurologist who knows something

about Apraxia, in my area. I am also in search of what to do in

terms of school. I don't know if our Special Education Co-op

teachers know sign shouldn't that be a definite condition when

teaching Special ed kids? I don't like our Co-op program anyway, and

I plan to stay as far away as possible.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Thanks in advance,

Sheila

Hi Sheila

Sounds like we use the same ped neurologist. This just came up with

my son not even a month ago. The doctor pretty much said the same

thing word for word. I feel like this - if it can not hurt the

child and you have researched and feel comfortable - try it. I tried

the stuff myself for a few days before I gave it to Chris. I have

found all of our doctors to be highly skeptical about this. I bet

everyone else on the list will tell you the same thing. The doctors

just will not believe it unless they have some sort of clinical

evidence to support it.
