Hi Estrea,

I just spoke to the coordinator Ann Marie Bianco about the prompt evaluation

and she said they are working on it, they have to make sure it is appropriate

for him? She asked Joanne from M.K whether he would allow being touched

and supposedly she said she doesn't think so. She also said that her supervisor

is looking into this. Obviously this doesn't make sense but is there anything I

can do about this?

She did a similar thing with OT, basically my understanding is that she asks

people questions in that way that at the end they give her responses which she

wants.

Sorry to bother you with this but was just wondering whether you have an

advice. I am sure that at the end we'll get what Pero needs but it's just going

to take more time then I hoped. And time is precious.

Thanks,

Natasha

Hi - I am new to this group. I have a 2.11 month old little boy who was just

diagnosed with severe verbal apraxia. We took him to Kaufman a few weeks

ago. She was so awesome with our little boy, she pulled words and sounds out of

him that we had never heard and he's been willingly doing them ever since. We

are very interested in doing her 3 week summer program and she feels he would be

a good candidate for it. Have any of you had experiences with that? If so, I'm

hoping someone is willing to share.

He will start Early Child hood special education preschool in February when he

turns 3. We already butt heads a little, but not too much - but i get the

feeling maybe they are a little put off that i am not just willingly signing and

doing just what they want. I don't want to be " THAT " parent but i guess i will

be if i have too. Does anyone have any tips on things i can do or say to seem

less thretening (and knowledgeable?).

Also, I am starting him on fish oil and vitiam e, but i am unsure of dosages and

what not. Is there a website or file anyone can direct me too?

Thanks so much,
