Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 Traci, Great news about Kennedy answering a question on her own!!! That would be really nice. Just wanted to comment that I started Jenna (2.9yrs with probably apraxia and low tone) on EFA's almost 3 weeks ago, and one thing I noticed is the same sort of mouth movements you are describing. I would look over at her and she would be moving her tongue back and forth, almost sticking it out (which she has never been able to do). My husband and I both noticed her moving her whole lower jaw from side to side, and opening and closing her mouth alot, like she was checking out the movement or just becoming aware of the muscles for the first time. We too are seeing some new words and definitely lots of new sounds (th, s, and finally some ma ma ma...) the words aren't consistent yet but it seems like they are coming...here's hoping... The speech therapist even commented today on how she thinks Jenna's attention has been so much better the past few weeks, she is more aware of everyone, Good luck!
