Need help for research project on early treatment of apraxia

[Guest guest]

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

start the search more answers.

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.

If her research could be used to help any parent to get help for

their child as soon as possible, it would be wonderful.

If you have anything that may help her, please answer back. I will

ask her if we can publish her research paper on the website when

she is done. Maybe it can help other people in other states.

Thanks in advance!
