Guest guest Posted January 31, 2002 Report Share Posted January 31, 2002 Hi - Your developmental pediatrician would probably be the best person to tell you how much therapy your child needs since they know what level your child's speech is at. I did want to tell you though that there is a great chart on the Apraxia.cc website that lists different levels/severities of Apraxia and what the recommended length of speech per week is so that might be helpful for you to look at. Just go to the website and on the left hand side of the screen there are different links. Click on the one that is called " Therapy Matrix " and you'll see what I'm talking about. I hope that helps !

Some say to get a formal dx.. see a Developmental Ped. and others say Neurodevelopmental Ped? My son's Developmental Ped. stated verbal apraxia.. I am in the process of finding out from her if that is a " Formal Dx " or I need to seek that elsewhere. Also, my son is Autistic and I am curious to find out if parents whose children are Autistic have used Pro-epa and what the outcome was? Various parents have stated going to the right SLP and getting the correct program.. what does a speech program consist of for children with verbal apraxia? is currently getting an hour and a half a week at his IU preschool.. He will be going to Kindergarten in Sept, what amount of time do you request for speech at the district level? 4-5 hours a week? Thanks! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
