How to find a GOOD SLP for apraxia?

[Guest guest]

Hi. My 28 month old son is dx'd with Autism caused by PVL(brain injury from

birth). He is showing SO many sighns of apraxia and has speech 5 times a week

through EI. MY problem is that his SLP doesn't seem to know very much on

techniques to use for kids with Apraxia so I have been trying to find on the

Internet a private SLP that specializes in Apraxia for my son but with no luck.

We live in Buffalo NY and was wondering if anyone had any websites or links that

would help me in my search? Thank you in advanced.

Hello ,

 

You can contact American Speech Language Hearing Association -- This association

will be able to give you names of certified speech clinicians in your area.  I

acquired the info form the book I am reading now -- The New Language of Tyoys by

Sue Schwartz, PhD.

 

For Autism Spectrum Disorders you can contact:  Autism Society of America

7910 Woodmont Ave.  Bethesda, MD 20814  800-3AUTISM  www.autism-society.org

 

I hope the info will help you!

 

Take care,
