RE: need suggestions for seeking speech eval

[Guest guest]

Meghan,

In what state are you located? My clinic is located in Marriottsville,

MD---western County. We specialize in apraxia and autism. My SLPs

are trained in PROMPT, Talk Tools oral placement hierarchies, Beckman

stretches, and selective eaters..among other techniques. We do many

specialty evaluations and treatment plans for clients in and out of state.

Our evaluations examine receptive/expressive language as well as in-depth

analysis of the strength, grading, stability, coordination, and dissociation

of the jaw, lips, and tongue.

Tell me more about your son. How many words does he produce at one time?

Our clients make great progress in the areas of speech and language!

Many of my clients are taking Nordic Naturals Omega 3-6-9s and EPA (2:1

ratio). In addition, many of these same clients take NutriiVeda----and have

had huge surges. Of course, check with your child's pediatrician but in my

opinion, try NutriiVeda!! If any parents or professionals would like more

information on how these are working for my clients, email me off list. J

Warmest wishes,

Barbara

Subject: [ ] need suggestions for seeking speech eval

Hi all,

My son (age 5) has autism with severe speech delay - his receptive language

is about 3 1/2 yr level and expressive is around 2 1/2. He has never been

diagnosed with apraxia, though I suspect it.

Anyway, I want to take him for another evaluation by a speech specialist but

I'm not sure who to go to. He has been evaluated by several speech

therapists over the years who basically do the bare minimum evaluation to

verify that he qualifies (i.e. insurance will pay) for speech therapy.

I should add that his progress in speech therapy has been verrrrry slow,

though he has made some and I am confident that he can make more progress

with the right type of diagnosis and help.

Thanks!

- Meghan
