anyone been to St ph's for speech, NJ?

[Guest guest]

Veta-- we haven't had experience with St. Joe's, but we've gone to Valley

Center for Child Development.

In regards to the speech-- it was " ok " . They know he's Apraxic, but none of

the girls who work there are " Apraxia experts " , so I can't say that the

speech treatment has been directed at the Apraxia, and y et, they know how to

work with him well enough WITH his Apraxia. Hope that made sense?

We see 2 private SLPs who direct Apraxia speech issues, and they are

phenomenal, so with them AND the Valley SLPs, it's been an excellent combination

for my son

We have been on the waiting list for an evaluation, which leads to speech

therapy.

Just wondering if time will be wasted going there for speech twice a week.

Many hospitals say they can help my child, when after all they only offer

mainstream, plain speech- not aimed at apraxia, as we all know how

important that is.

Would like to know if anyone has experience with other hospitals/clinics

in northern NJ, thank you.
