Three weeks of Nordic Naturals 3-6-9

[Guest guest]

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.

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!
