recommendations on apraxia program for homeschool implementation?

[Guest guest]

Its been a long time since I've posted. But I know alot of the parents on the

board have a child similar to mine.....high iq, low verbal abilities. I firmly

believe the low verbal is a result of the massive nids " stroke " he suffered at

23months, when he went from a normal toddler, to the catatonic child that was

left after the Nids attack on his body.

cognitively, my guy is super sharp, with the exception, again similar to

typical stroke survivors, very limited ability to talk, also difficulty with

right to left brain switching.

I learned so much about him by taking him to austin texas for a week of

intensive " rapid prompting method " training. The parent is the one who gets the

training.

My guy was doing geometry, algebra equations, completing 5th grade literature

questestions all doing the Rapid Prompting Method. My 16yr old who came with me

almost fell out of his chair, and could not believe how smart his brother is.

Needless to say, I have dumped public school....tired of trying to explain my

child is not typical kanner autism, and no he is not mentally retarded mr public

school district.

I have a great homeschool program, Seton, that provides special education

supports, plus I am going to homeschool my other guys, so he will not miss out

on the social stuff.

big question though....the apraxia problem...can anyone recommend a apraxia

program I can purchase and implement at home?

my guy is so stressed out over the horror he lived through in public school,

he won't even go to the speech therapist. I believe he feels insulted by the way

he is treated...despite my explainations, the speech therapist talks to him like

he has the brain of a 2yr old.

so I really need this peice.

sorry for being so long winded.

thanks for any input
