I would like to add that this is the oil we use also with success. My son also

gets a rotation of Green Pastures (x-factors and their CLO). I also add mixed Es

(I think all 8 of them are there). Twice a week I even give him coconut oil into

his rice milk. I am doing a trial of carnitine to see if even better things will

happen- so far so good!

We are seeing the " soft signs " that come with apraxia slowly fade away. It is

wonderful. His sensory issues are ironing out beautifully. His physical

capabilities are improving. He is trying new things on his own. I don't push him

and neither do any of his therapists. He is becoming braver. His receptive

language has skyrocketed! We just had our very first speech therapy this week-

so I hope he will catch on there as well.....

Just wanted to add that I know not all combinations of oils work for all- but

experimenting to find what DOES work is critical!

[ ] Three weeks of Nordic Naturals 3-6-9

Hi all.  My name is Deb and this is my first post, although I have been lurking

for quite some time.  I am mom of 4 amazing kids and also a SLP.  My

2-year-old has been exhibiting signs of Apraxia of Speech since she was 9-12

months old.  She has been receiving private therapy since 18 months and in the

last few months, her SLP feels comfortable enough to agree with me that she is

Apraxic (most people don't like to diagnose too early).  I wanted to begin

supplementation with Omegas and I also felt it was important to keep her SLP in

the loop.  After discussing things with our pediatrician and her SLP and having

her give my daughter the Kaufman Speech Praxis Test, we began one capsule of NN

3-6-9 per day.  Three weeks later, we have seen progress.  Both her SLP and I

have observed the following:  increase in speech attempts, increase in attempts

at imitating modeled speech, spontaneous two word phrases, increase in inclusion

of final consonants

in CVC words, increase in accuracy of CV and VC productions.  I am going to

give her another month or two and ask her to readminister the Kaufman.  The

therapist in me wants to see the progress in black and white.  Her SLP told me

the other day that she used to take fish oil supplements herself and since

seeing my daughter's progress, she has started taking her supplements again. 

It seems we have created a believer in the effects of Omegas.  After the amount

of time I have spent working with my daughter at home and the hours of private

therapy, it is so exciting to see that the supplements are a great addition to

all our efforts.
