Subject: [ ] New and Stuck in Canada

I moved to Canada in January. My daughter and I were both born in NY. Long Story

Sorry.

My family is hispanic and my husband and I decided it would be good to teach our

daughter spanish, no english at that time. At 2 years old she only said a couple

of words,

one syllable. She was diagnosed as speech delayed and received therapy in

spanish. I was

told by some therapists that not to be surprised if she already new english. I

started

testing her and she understood me. Her therapist said she probably picked it up

from me

and others around her. The therapist continued therapy in spanish and I slowly

taught her

english. It was amazing how fast she started speaking english. We dumped the

therapist

and english was the official language with us. Unfortunately, I should off

continued with

therapy, but in english. Now my daughter is 4 and in pre-k. Her teacher

recommends

speech therapy. My daughter has a large vocabulary, but has trouble pronouncing

a few

letters, e.g. the letter S, X, Z, uses the T in front of words a lot. Now that I

have been

researching a way to help her I came across Apraxia. I strongly believe my

daughter has

apraxia. I feeling guilty for not getting her the help earlier. I am having a

lot of trouble

finding resources here in Canada. This is why I joined this group.

I'm reading all the info on the database to inform myself more of this

condition.

Is there a book or website that can teach me how to work her.

Thank you all of listening.

Yesy
