Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Our SLP found this article about apraxia and sleep apnea. is three-years-old and had his adenoids and tonsils removed last month. So far the biggest difference I've seen is improved sleep habits (he was getting up between 3 and four times a night). He also doesn't sound so nasal anymore. I hope to see more gradual improvements over time and this article gave me a lot of hope! http://speech-language-pathology-audiology.advanceweb.com/editorial/content/edit\ orial.aspx?CC=166589 www.columbusspeech.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I tend to think it has to do with funding, myself! LOL says Bec the skeptic In a message dated 7/15/2009 2:11:30 P.M.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 this is correct from what I know as well. You don't get rid of it, but there are things to alleviate the symptoms and things to do to correct the effects of the apnea bek In a message dated 7/15/2009 1:59:41 P.M.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yup saw your name Becky in the 100. It may be one of those things like when you have a broken arm you notice broken arms more? I don't know -either that or when people have children with apraxia they don't talk about the apnea that their child has coexisting here? Anyone else here have a child with apraxia and sleep apnea? Becky we can start a subject for it at the apraxia.org site which is more public and see who responds? I know when we had an in person group it NEVER came up once -but here it has a few times. Then again as it's pointed out -there is a percentage that is normal. If this group is above 1% for apnea then we are above the norm here -but I don't believe it's much higher again based on what we've heard. (and yes I know there's a paper and all...but again why not focus on pointing out the stuff that just about ALL of us see in our children with apraxia?!! Or was it just that there was no funding for hypotonia, motor planning in the body and sensory issues and there was for sleep apnea? ha!) ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
