Hi...just got a diagnosis of apraxia 2 hours ago....numb

[Guest guest]

Hello....my name is Tracey and my 2 and a half year old son has had speech

issues for quite a while and has been receiving occupational and speech therapy

for the past several months. Today we visited a developmental pediatrician that

confirmed our suspisions that he has apraxia. The pediatrician is saying that is

it likely due to a stoke he had in utero (because he has low tone and less use

of his left side). We have a MRI scheduled next week to see the extent of the

problem.

I am sick with grief. Please...I need hope. I need anyone to share any stories

of process and success you have as well as any recommended treatment agencies in

the Southern California area (we live in Simi Valley).

I just didn't know where else to go for support. Thanks in advance.

Tracey
