Re: Can anyone recommend a speech therapist in Houston TX who specializes in apr

[Guest guest]

You really have to get creative to search for therapists. I didn't have any in

network therapists listed online less than about 50 miles away. I even called

UHC to ask about any closer therapists who were in network. Finally, I thought

of the local hospitals and the children's hospital and found that there were

pediatric therapists at both that took our insurance. We had a very short wait

to get Nate in for an eval for speech at the children's hospital. We are about

45 min away from the children's hospital--yet it was well worth the drive to get

an apraxia diagnosis. I found the young therapist at All Children's to be much

more knwledgeable about apraxia than any private or public school therapist my

son has had. In fact, over the course of our conversation, she pointed out some

things the school therapist was doing in speech that were counterproductive for

a child w/apraxia.

Keep searching--just start making phone calls--
