That's all the motivation I need to fire off some documents to Governor Rick in Texas. I love my efax account.

I heard a rumor that the state of Michigan had dropped ETG testing because of the high number of accidental positives and had reverted to more freguent plain old urine testing for endogenous etoh in urine. is this true? Does anyone know of any documentation supporting this claim!I need for a file I am building.Thanks Suzanne

Suzanne,

This letter went out to those in the Michigan program:

Revision to FirstLab Testing Options

March 29, 2006

The Health Professional Recovery Comittee (HPRC), composed of representatives from the various licensing boards and governing body of the Health Professional Recovery Program (HPRP), met on Monday, March 20, 2006. After careful review of results from current drug screen data, it was determined ETG Testing (Option 2 and Option 4) will be suspended as part of the screening process of the program. The HPRC has directed HPRP to forward information regarding changes in testing option(s) at FirstLab (see applicable chart below).

Former Testing Option New Testing Option

Option 2 Option 1

Option 4 Option 3

Options 2 & 4 Options 1 & 3

HPRP's Monitoring Specialists are available to answer any questions regarding these procedural changes.

Does anyone know about this?

I spoke with Nixon of the Michigan Health Professional Recovery Program

(HPRP) today

and he informed me that Michigan has indeed suspended the use of EtG urine

testing. They

are using the standard urine alcohol test. He would not send me any

documentation since I

am from California and not an active client of their program.

My brother sent me this article to see if it could help my son, Pittsburgh VA

program helps patients speak again

ts.html Can this help children with apraxia too does anyone know? Kate

The article doesn't say which SLP techniques or modalities they are using.

It does state that it is ONLY for VA pts who have had a stroke. Based on

that criteria, your child would not qualify.

If I knew what techniques/strategies the SLPs are using, then I could give

you more info on whether the same technique would be appropriate for kids.

There are several differences between apraxia after stroke vs. apraxia

starting as a child. Adult apraxia (after a stroke) is characterized by

difficulty accessing (saying) the sounds in words. Adults did have the

ability to motor plan the sounds and now, post stroke, they can't motor plan

correctly. Children know what they want to say (as an idea) but have not

(usually---unless just once) said the words. They have difficulty motor

planning because they have NOT been consistently successful in the

past----whereas, adults have. So, it's retraining motor plans with adults

but teaching/training new motor plans with kids.

Let me know if you have further questions. J

Warmest wishes,

Barbara
