Sooo Apraxia can present.....

[Guest guest]

in different ways is what I'm thinking from my reading? I'm sorry as I've

researched but seem to keep getting confused. My son has not " lost " any language

but like another member here recently mentioned, he has limited sounds (mostly

consonants). His vowels are great : cow is " ow " .. cat is " a " or " at " ... his

strongest consonant is " da " or " do " .. even tho when he tries to say " dog " it

comes out as " o " or on a good day " og " (very light " g " sound). We just did the

EI/ST evals and he qualifies : 2 yrs and only 5 words (yet if you count the

words he says consistently and I know.. it's much more, but noone else would

know what the words were) altho his stubborness played into things and his

receptive skills tested way more poorly than expressive (which I'm almost pos is

wrong) cause he " refused " to do stuff. ST not worried either (about receptive).

Anyway, just wondering about these limited sounds. Is that something like

apraxia? Phonological processing disorder? Realize he's young but

if anyone has any thoughts on this, would love to hear!
