Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Jenna you are our rock star of the day!!! Do you have any of the letters or other information to share to help other parents in your situation? I'd love to also post it to the more public Apraxia.org page as there are so many more who could learn from what you did! Congratulations...I'm sure it wasn't just a victory for your precious little one, but one for any of the children like yours as I'm sure quite a few individuals you dealt with were educated as to what " apraxia " is today! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Nice to hear victories like this! Sherry and Josh From: Jenna <imcaligal@...> Subject: [ ] We won our case!! Date: Tuesday, July 7, 2009, 10:03 PM We live in California and our Early Intervention is run by Regional Center (ours is Regional Center of Orange County). I am not sure how other EI's work, but in CA. when children are 3 they " age out " of Regional Center services and typically the district takes over. Under the Lanterman Act, you can continue services is your child has one of the following diagnosis (Autism, Mental Retardation, Cerebral Palsy, Downs Syndrome or the " Fifth Category " ) AND your child is severely delayed in three of five different areas (self-care, self-direction, language, mobility, learning). As of now our 3.3yo son is diagnosed with severe apraxia, dyspraxia, hypotonia and Sensory Processing Dysfunction. I just want to say we just WON our fight with Regional Center! He will continue to receive services thru them and the school district. He was found eligible under the " Fifth Category " . Please don't give up the fight! Typically parents get the " rejection " letter or hear NO (be it from EI, school districts, insurance) and leave it at that. But I say try to fight (I did all of this WITHOUT a lawyer or advocate). It might really be worth it for your child :-) Jenna Weil (mom to Larsyn 3.3yo and Chance 5.10yo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
