family out tremendously! If you could please email me...she is also closer to

me than Berkley where my son is going now seeing as how I am in Redford...Not

far from the livonia area. If I had any information for her research I would

pass that along, but I am sorry I don't.

>My son's Speech Language Pathologist at his school asked if I had any

documentation regarding the benefits of starting treatment for

>apraxic kids at an early age. She is the person who first told me

that my son was apraxic late last year. That was a turning point for

>my husband and I which has led us to start agressive treatment and

>She is doing a research paper and would like any non-anecdotal

research to support her efforts. She is truly an incredible person

>and anyone who lives in Westland or Livonia Michigan is lucky to meet

her! My son was in an Early On program for 1 1/2 years before he was

>old enough to start the PPI program at age 3. At that time, he

didn't receive ANY speech therapy. I feel he would have been so much

>more ahead from where he is now if someone like her had been around.
