You can check out the Orton-Gillihan website which is a phonemically based

program but also incorporates multi-sensory exercises to reinforce phonics

skills. Another phonemically based program is The Reading System and you

can check it out on the web site. is a cookie cutter of Orton Gillihan.

However, it provides many materials to teach phonics to your child. I hope this

provides a sense of hope with your son.

www.starfall. com is my favorite free site for teaching phonics. You can order

materials from them, but everything you need is right there on the site.

I asked our psychiatrist why are there so many children on depakote that have

apraxia. Her answer

was interesting, " apraxia is neurologically based " ????? My daughter was found to

be having pseudo seizures after taking depakote for 6 years. She is on Zoloft

and weaning her off the depakote. it is taking her 3 months to get off the

depakote as per her neurologist. We are assuming after the latest discovery of

the abuse when she was in the orphange that she will no longer have issues with

seizures or anxiety. Than when off the depakote I will feel better about

introducing her to the nutriveda and taking her off the zoloft. I would think

the ABA would only cause anxiety for your son. I have homeschooled for

the past 5 years because of her speech issues and inability to tell me what

happened at the school she went to for 6 dreadful weeks.

We'll see.
