Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Greetings! My name is Leah and I am mom to 3 - ages 5, 3, and 1. , my 3 1/2 year old has been diagnosed with Apraxia of Speech by 2 different SLP's. His comprehended language is age 4 1/2 but expressive language is less than 2 years old. His last eval showed less than 10% intelligible speech. We are working hard to incorporate ASL to ease frustration. Our SLP said we may need to consider an augmentative speech device if we are not able to pick up the ASL - but I am pretty sure we will be able to. Anyhow - my questions. I have read a little bit about EFA's. I have purchased Nordic Naturals Omega 3-6-9 from a local store (too impatient to order it off the web) and I wanted to verify that 1 Omega 3-6-9 is the same as 1/2 proEFA. Right? I think i was supposed to start w/ 1/2 porEFA but my brain is a little hazy right now :-) Next question...do I NEED to go to a pediatric neurologist. He is terrified of doctors and I have been to more than our share. Is it necessary to go to one? What benefit do I get from his blessing on the diagnosis? Would I be better off going to a DAN practitioner? We saw a local chiropractor who used to be a registered DAN and he has been really helpful. I know these questions are probably redundant and I apologize. I should probably check the archives, but time is limited w/ the three littles at home and hubby who works night shift (keeping everyone quiet during the day). Thanks for your patience. PS: Anyone in Southern California? We would love to have friends! Thanks again, Leah http://www.2angels2growme.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
