...we were told Matt was probably apraxic sa well....

[Guest guest]

...our Matt cannot blow bubbles yet, smile on command - more a

receptive language issue we think as he just doe3sn't understand the

request- or do any of the other things you sited....we have about

twenty word/word approximations...and he will say most things or make a

version of most things people try....it has all happened in the last

two months or so and at the moment he is not on CLO or any other

oils...so I am interested to see if he will be a big responder to them

if they work for your kiddo.

We have gotten all our language gains so far using the simple, but

painful and tedious, strategies in Overcoming Autism. If you can get

services for your child try and find Pivotal Response trained ABA

folks...the things you sited are not prerequisite for getting spoken

communication on board or Matt would not be talking....good luck. Di

My son was diagnosed as apraxic - fish oil and vitamin E erased these

symptoms.

We have had TONS of service for Tommy for the past 3 1/2 years. TONS, like over 30 hours a week. No one can break thru the language barrier with him.

...we were told Matt was "probably apraxic sa well...."

Actually Matt isn't on either yet we are just researching those

options now...we got the language gains strictly by using the

Overcoming autism strategy for getting Mo - more - onboard and kept

that with the hand sign for about three weeks and then began in

earnest using the strategies to get labeling going...and there we

remain, one word labels and imitating all word prompts with versions

of the words or sounds....only more chicken and more tickle for two

word phrases so far. There is spont. language though...he just came

out of his room looking for Dad saying wawa....once you get those

first words if you use PRT it really starts to go....NOW we are

reseatching a biomed angle to help his brain have an easier time of

it. Matt never learned to sign and struggles wsith midline issues and

fine motor ones too...part of what drove us was we did not know how

to do PECS and signing wsa not were we decided to put our

energies....NO regrets...about four days to really really get the

more on board withholding despite all tantrums etc. and little cycle

of all behaviors to avoid vocalizing...hitting, kissing, laying down

and moaning - almost funny if it were not so awful to go

through...and then at the first mm PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE....and there

you have it. Keep me posted as to all you learn re the oils

etc...but go there with PRT believing your child CAN vocalize and

MUST vocalize....in case of danger, in case of injury, the world at

large does not understnd sign and often they do not even learn REAL

signs..give it your ALL for vocalizations and words....Di
