son finally diagnosed

[Guest guest]

I just want to say I am very thankful for this site. It is because

of this site that my son is finally diagnosed. I was just looking

around one night when I saw the memo in the groups. I started to

read it and went also to apraxia.cc, I could not believe it when I

read it! It was talking about my son. I could never get any doctor

or therapist to put a name to it. Everytime they talked they would

say his symptoms. I felt bad because he is 11 years old and it

seemed to me that everybody here found out when their child was

preschool age or a little older. When I told his teacher I thought

he had this and made a doctors appointment, she told me that it

usually isn't in children that usually adults get it (and she is a

slp). I have to wonder how come she didn't see the signs for it and

mention it to me. He does have about 15-20 words. I was always told

that group therapy would be best for him. I am looking forward to

the results of 1 on 1 therapy. His doctor said 5 days a week. We

know we won't get that much from school, but we plan on private

therapy also. I do have one question-- Where does everyone get the

ProEFA? I can not find that anywhere around here (Atlanta area) I

have been using Udo's Choice oil. By the way-I have noticed a BIG

difference in my son in the past year. We started taking him to a

chiropractor and he also gets hippotherapy now.

Thanks again to everyone who writes into this group. There are

probably a lot of people like me who read the posts, and learn new

things.
