Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 My daughter sees a Pediatric Neurologist and he doesn't know much about Apraxia. I have posted here before about who to see for an Apraxia diagnosis and Dr. Laveman recommended that I look for a Developmental or Behavioral Pediatrician. I was also wondering myself if the ST could make a diagnosis. Why can't the Pediatrician make the diagnosis? My daughter does not see a pediatrician we go to my family doctor, who is an older gentleman, but I do like him. My problem is that I cannot seem to locate one in my area. So, if anyone knows where to go to search for one in my area, let me know. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Hi Tami! I know some of the professionals like Dr. Agin will answer your question for you, but until they do, here is some archived info we have found helpful for insurance. I know your child doesn't have a label yet (poss. dyspraxia /apraxia) you can pull from below. Also, if you let us know what state you live in Carnell can help you with support sources for your area. I can't tell you how highly I recommend seeing a neurodevelopmental doctor. For many or most of us that did see a good one it changed our children's life in helping immediately to secure appropriate therapies through school and insurance, as well as helped better learn how to help our children. We are there for you, and again you will be receiving answers from professionals both onlist and in private! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Hi! Is there a reason that she can not get more days through EI? My daughter gets all her therapies 3x a week, 1 hour each session. You can have your doctor write a prescription for the increase in therapy and they should be able to. If they don't you can protest it and have the doctor write a more formal letter concerning your daughter's needs. If there is some reason that is valid as to why it can not be increased, you could try Easter Seals. Also, The Knights of Colombus are very cheritable.

Sesame, jojoba, sweet almond and all cold pressed. I wouldn't use baby oil as it contains mineral oil and synthetic fragrances. Mineral oil is a petroleum product and is not something that is good for your skin or body. You would be best using a quality cold pressed nut or seed oil. Frangipani (Plumeria rubra) is a tropical tree of the south seas and India. It has a wonderful smelling flower that they extract as an absolute. Veerrrrryyyyy expensive. Not quite as expensive as Jasmine but still very pricey stuff. Really wonderful smelling too. You can find out how to make a salve in the files I do believe. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Just out of curiosity could a > person use one to distill EO like these?

No I don't have a water distiller yet. I am still looking for a good European supplier of a decent one. So I am still relying on the store bought distilled water for now. Personally, I don't think that a water distiller will do a very good job for extracting essential oils. Just kind of the wrong design. Normally, to distill essential oils out of herbs, the herb material is usually suspended over the water and the steam passes through the herb material taking the essential oils with it out the top of the vessel through a condenser and into a collecting vessel where the oil and water can be separated. Not an easy thing to do with a home water distillation unit. Now if you wish to take your nice stainless steel pressure canner, drill a new hole in the lid and add some copper tubing (condenser) run it through a wash tub filled with ice or very cold water and let it drain into a glass jar then you might be able to make it work. You will need a rack to place the herbs onto to keep them above the water so that the steam will pass through them. Basically a moonshine still. Hehehe Peace be with you Diane. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
