To Moms of Older Kids w/ Apraxia

[Guest guest]

Hi all! I am mom to , age 4 with Apraxia diagnosed at age 3. He is making

incredible progress with speech and supplementation. There are, however, some

sounds that just seem like they will never come. As I was reading the posts

about temper tantrums I noticed many moms saying " I remember when... " My

question for you is this:

What does Apraxia look like in your older children? My 4 year old close to

unintelligible to most strangers...although improving as I mentioned before. The

one great thing is that he talks A LOT. It just all sounds like mush. We do sign

a lot and that helps a ton with frustration. What am I looking at 8-10 years

down the road though. I know he will probably be in speech all that time and

that is fine...but how much better does it get? And do we know any " Adults " with

Apraxia? How does it affect them? Do they really sound like they " just have an

accent " or what?

Thanks so much!
