Response to ignorance in the family

[Guest guest]

I UNDERSTAND!  I had a bunch of this to deal with too... so, what I did was to

purchase the Hope Speaks:  An Introduction to Childhood Apraxia of Speech DVD

from CASANA website to show family members who were in denial and/or didn't

understand.  I believe it helped them " get it. "

 

Good luck!  I know it is difficult when you have people fighting you on the

diagnosis and/or treatment.

What was the explanation? Why do you think so many of our kids have problems

with speech? When my 11 year old was 3, his speech therapist asked me if there

were speech disorders in our family, I told her no. She was surprised because

she said 90% of speech disorders are inherited and usually the other 10% are due

to strokes or accidental injuries. It has always haunted me that my first boy

recovered from his speech disorder and my second hasn't. I keep wondering why.
