Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi, all. I'm new here. I have a three-year old son, who has not yet been put on the spectrum. I say not yet, because he is showing some fairly good social skills, interaction, etc. But he does have " autistic features. " That aside, Jake's SLP has mentioned possible apraxia, but because of his age, from what I understand, that would be hard to diagnose. In any event, my son has not yet seen a neurologist, which I believe he should, not only because of his speech, but also my concerns with this strange blinking thing that he occasionally does. My question is what neurologist to see? And can a neurologist diagnose apraxia? Because I live in the Washington DC/Baltimore area, the two names that come to mind are Dr. Mott with town and Dr. Zimmerman with Kennedy Krieger. Jake has been to Kennedy Krieger several times to see a developmental pediatrician. Does anyone have any opinion on either of these doctors or perhaps a recommendation other than these two? Also, one of the problems with my son's speech is that his pronunciation can change with the same word. Is this a sign of apraxia? Thank you in advance!
