The Late Talker Book, breathing support and EPA

January 20, 2009

Dear

I am the mother of a 3 year old son diagnosed with apraxia. I consider finding

this group a blessing from the skies and now that I am reading your book

everything is coming together. I can not put the book now. It is as if you wrote

it just for our son because it totally describes him. Gosh, if I ever go to NJ I

want to take you out to dinner!

Anyhow, I've started my son on Complete 3-6-9 (2 caps) and now I want to add

EPA. At the store this morning I found a bottle of Nordic Naturals " EPA " and

also " EPA xtra " . I bought the EPA. Is that right?

About the breathing... It is exactly what is happening to my son. This problem

has been going on since he was a baby. He even had to spend 12 days in the NICU

because he couldn't coordinate breathing/swallowing/eating. Nowadays he is a

super slow eater, can only drink water 1 sip at a time and seems to really have

to work to breathe. I have taken him to an ENT and all is well medically. I

loved the article on the horn therapy and the other things that you did with

your son to work on his balance etc. Do you know any good SLP in southern

California? Everyone told me this was one of the best states as far as school

districts and regional centers but I will tell you that all the SLPs that I have

worked with don't seem to know much about apraxia. I forwarded the horn therapy

article to our school SLP and our private SLP. I am attending a Kauffman class

in Pasadena in February. I got the special ed director to approve the school SLP

to get certified in

PROMPT. What are other things that I can do?

You are the greatest. Thanks for this gift. The gift of information and

awareness.

Sincerely

Cris
