[Guest guest]

I just joined the group. I have a 3 1/2 year old boy that was diagnosed with

severe verbal apraxia at 2 1/2.He has has some oral and motor apraxia. He also

has some sensory issues. Jumps alot and rubs his fingers together when something

excits him. He attends a prek program at our elementary school. He r/c speech 3

times a week at school and PT 1 time a week. We have OT private with someone

that specializes in sensory. We started speech private during the summer. He had

just a few words after 1 year of speech thru the infant toddler program with our

state(NC). His therapist for the summer has been wonderful. He has had a surge

in words and is now getting some whole words. Ex: hot,cap,help etc instead of

just beginning sounds.Plus starting to put a few 2 words together;Ex: help me,

go bye etc. We are going to keep her 1 time a week during the school year. I

have several questions:

1) I just purchased the NN Pro EFA fish oil. I started him on 1 gel a day. We

started today. He weighs 42 pounds. Is this enough?

2) I am considering the Nurtriiveda. But because we are making some progress all

of a sudden in speech I wasn't sure if I should start yet.

3) Insurance. We have 30 visits of speech a year with our insurance. With the

apraxia code- Does anyone have any luck getting more visits?? Also for OT and

PT? Thanks,
