New You Tube Vidoe for thos struggling with Apraxia and Oral Motor Weakness

[Guest guest]

My son is 2.5 years old and has hypotonia, dysarthia and apraxia. ALthough he

has been in speech therapy since 18 mos, we just began seeing Debra Beckman in

Orlando. In just 5 weeks with her he has made tremendous progress in sound

production and muscle improvement (less drool) although he still has a very long

way to go. Debra speicalizes in Oral Motor Therapy and also uses Prompt and

the Kauffman method. One of her previous patients posted a you tube video

that shows her progress in speech from the age of 6 years to currently as an

adult. I found it inspiring and encouraging so I thought I would pass it on.

That was an inspiring video!

My now 6yo has been going to Beckman and Associates for 3 1/2 years. He has not

made as much progress but he can now move his tongue side to side whereas before

he could not. We're still working on getting him to be able to lift his tongue

up. I understand it depends on the severity of the child's disability as to how

the oral-motor therapy progresses.
