looking for a definition of dyspraxia

[Guest guest]

I am in an appeals process with my insurance company because they

have denied my son's OT. I am having a really hard time with this

because the insurance company classifies Dyspraxia as a learning

disablity. I would like to find a definition that I can quote that

shows the neurological source of dyspraxia but doesn't mention the

word developmental. Has anyone found anything like this before?

A speech therapist recently gave me an article that discussed how to get

insurance companies to pay for apraxia of speech. The name of the person

listed as a contact is Janet McCarty through the Action Center. Her phone

number is 800-498-2071, ext. 4194, and her email is jmccarty@.... I

hope that this helps. Amy

Go to the DDAT Centre website and look at their teachers notes, among

other things. They classify dyspraxia as a cerebellar dysfunction and

say it is correctable.

Good luck
