Ideas and Activities that you have used?

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I am new to the boards and new to the world of apraxia. I have a 2 year old

amazing little boy who I thought was speech delayed until a month ago when his

speech teacher told me otherwise. Since finding out he has apraxia both my

husband and I have done a ton of research and here is what we are doing so far:

1 on 1 speech therapy once a week

1 on 1 OT therapy once

1 softgel pill of EFA daily

Watches Baby Babble, he LOVES these DVDs and it has helped him so much

Any other thoughts or ideas on what else we should be doing?

He has 6 words that he can say when prompted, 4 letter sounds and can sign

around 6 words.

Here are the following activites that we have been doing to help him:

I bought some musical instruments at Toys R Us that require him to blow,

something he can't really do and he loves it.

He loves laying with bubbles, we work on the b and p sound, b

for bubbles and p for pop.

He blows through a straw to make an object move, most of the time a feather.

Any other activities that you have that has worked for your child?

Thanks so much,

Liz
