play dates with the apraxic child

[Guest guest]

Hello,

My diagnosed son is 3 1/2. I would say his speech is that of an 18 month old at

this point. When he tries to speak in long sentences or speaks fast, it is

completely unintelligible. However he has been in intense therapy for a few

months now and has come a really long way.

As a parent, I feel for him so much especially when he is trying to play with

other children. It seems that since he can't speak well enough the other

children don't want to play with him. My heart breaks for him because he loves

kids and I know he would love to interact with them but since he can't speak

well its really hard to initiate or carry a conversation.

Just need some support or advice....
