Guest guest Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Sutherland I can highly recommend her but she is expecting a baby so will stop work for a while in a month or so. Jeanie from Reaching Potentials is our bcba who runs our behavior program is also a trained speech therapist and I can recommend her program. Send me an e mail if you want further details.Sent from my iPad I never heard of Aricept for Speech but I know it is used in Alzheimer's patients. Which Speech therapist do you use? We are in need of one. Aricept for speech Our Dan Doctor has recommended our 8 year old mostly non verbal son takes Aricept . One every day before bed. He says it helps encourage speech. But we are always reluctant to go with prescription medication . So I wonder if anyone has tried it with their kids with what success and any side effects. He does have a tendency to be aggressive with some chelators and supplements so we are unsure. He is doing intensive speech therapy with some success with a great new therapist but of course it is a slow process and our doctor thinks Aricept will reinforce it. Any advice appreciated .

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hi..I saw Jeannie's name and had to comment. My daughter has gone to Reaching Potentials on and off for about 2 years. I trust them 100%. Jeannie is very good at what she does and it is worth the money. > > I never heard of Aricept for Speech but I know it is used in Alzheimer's patients.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 We saw her years ago and she is great. I was considering going back to them but wasn't sure if they take any insurance. Do you know their contact phone number? Are they still in Delray Beach? Aricept for speech> > > Our Dan Doctor has recommended our 8 year old mostly non verbal son takes Aricept .
