finding a diagnosis- we live in NYC

[Guest guest]

I am new to this site, and also discovered the speechdiet website

yesterday. My daughter is 2 1/2 with severe speech delays and some

recently observed attentional concerns also. Our pediatrician tries

to help and sent us to 2 neurologists, a geneticist, and referred for

EI. She has been receiving therapy for 18 months with very little

improvement in her expressive language. I am looking for a

developmental pediatrician here in NYC, and/or information to reach

Dr. Agin. We did pay a large amount for a specialty speech oral

motor eval; their response was that you can't diagnose apraxia until

there are more consistent words present. None of the other doctors

had an answer except that she is low tone, and don't worry so much...

If anyone has suggestions or a name and # for me to try, I would

really appreciate it. Thanks,

Ann Marie
