Two SLP's - Two Types of Apraxia Treatment

[Guest guest]

Hi!

 

My son is 3.6 and has been diagnosed with severe apraxia.  Right now he

gets a mix of Kaufman and PROMPT four days a week.  That will be scaled back BIG

TIME as the school year comes to an end.  We weren't approved for summer

services through our local school district.   During the summer,  will

only be getting about an hour of private speech help a week at Columbus Speech

and Hearing.

 

I asked 's general Pediatricia and Developmental Pediatrician what they

recommended we do during the summer.  They both highly recommended the

same local SLP through Nationwide Children's Hospital.

 

Here's the problem - do SLP's from different establishments work together?   Is

it inappropriate for me to ask them to do that?  We love our SLP at Columbus

Speech and Hearing, but I feel like the other SLP from Children's has a lot to

offer as well.

 

The SLP at Columbus Speech and Hearing uses both Kaufman and PROMPT.  The

Children's SLP uses a small amount of PROMPT but mainly concentrates on

phonological development.   Does anyone have any experience with SLP's who use

that method?  I am unfamiliar with it, but this SLP has a HUGE success rate

working with apraxic children - so I am willing to possibly give it a shot after

I do some research. 

 

Would it hurt to combine the therapies and therapists?   

 

Thanks!
