Re: NC speech pathologist for Apraxia??????

We went to Raleigh Neurology and saw Dr. Mark Clayton. Our speech therapist

recommended seeing Dr. Kristi Milowic at Raleigh Neurology, but we were on her

waiting list for 6 months and told it would be at least another 2 months of

waiting. Dr. Clayton is new and didn't have a waiting list last month.

Good luck!

I have been attempting to find a speech pathologists to evaluate my

son for verbal apraxia. I had switched to one who proclaimed to be

knowledgeable after our first pathologists and neurologist suspected

apraxia. However, I found out, a year later, that her expertise

consisted of a few workshops and no personal experience. So, I'm

looking for someone to evaluate my son that is knowledgeable and

experienced. I live in NC and so far have only found three in

Raleigh...all 3 with the same office. I live near Albemarle,

Salisbury, and Concord going from closest to farthest.

If anyone has any suggestions on where I may be able to locate

someone, please let me know. Thank you.

Was this doctor able to give you the actual diagnosis of verbal

Apraxia? Thank you for your response.

Hmmm...well, I don't know how " official " this was. Our speech therapist

suspected apraxia for a long time and recommended that neurologist. We went to

the doctor and he asked us many questions about our son, and he said it

" sounded " like apraxia. Our son was uncooperative, as he tends to be with

strangers, so he didn't evaluate him. I asked the doctor to put it in writing

and he wrote up our whole conversation and his assessment in a 6 page letter. I

made a copy of it and gave it to the speech therapist, so that the school has a

record of that.

I'm not sure if that's how apraxia diagnoses are usually made. ???
