[ ] update on son's apraxia

Hi-

I was very active on this board when my son was really suffering at age

2-3, and couldn't speak. But with intensive Prompt, and sensory

integration therapy, and a therapeutic nursery and kindergarten, I am

happy to report that he is doing great. The only problem he has now is

artic issues with the letter R!!!!

He is probably somewhere on the spectrum, but nothing really intense,

and some professionals don't think there is anything other than ADHD

going on. I don't know, I just know where he was, and how difficult

the climb to get here was. But it was worth it, and now he loves fish

because of all the Omega 3-6-9 he took!

I'm writing because I want to encourage all parents to keep at it, and

that I know how hard it is keeping it all together. Thanks to all of

you for your support and advice!

YEAH!! Thanks for sharing and I am so happy to hear that he is doing well. I

think it shows

the importance of finding the right services for apraxia - I know that was the

case with us.

My son did not say " momma " until right before his 4th birthday and now at 5 1/2

he is

speaking in short sentences and even singing songs. A couple of years ago I

never

thought he would ever speak but through his hard work and the right

therapy/interventions for him he is now doing great. He still has a long way to

go, but we

are very hopeful for the future.
