Thank you very much for sharing something so wonderful...

 

Do you know what type of treatment her son received and what age was he able to

finally conquer apraxia?

Hi all,

Just thought I'd share this story...a few days ago I saw a woman we hadn't seen

in about a year, and I was telling her about our son's recently diagnosed

apraxia. She immediately said how familiar she is with apraxia because her own

son had it (he also had fine motor issues and auditory processing problems.)

He's now in his early 20s, in college, and is doing wonderfully! Back then, she

knew no one else with apraxia (this was, as she put it, in the " pre-Internet

days " ). I was very encouraged by hearing this success story about apraxia and

how everything worked out for so well for her son, so I figured I'd pass it

along. Hopefully it will give you all the same encouragement it did for me!

She mentioned that he received speech therapy in the early years of

grade school and that his speech issues and fine motor problems were pretty much

resolved by around 3rd grade.  However, he did still struggle with ADD

and auditory processing problems throughout grade school and high school.  So it

was definitely amazing to hear what a successful, well-adjusted adult he's

become!  :-)
