Re: Introduction - daughter with Apraxia

[Guest guest]

Hi Vicky and welcome!

Does have any other symptoms or diagnosis other than verbal apraxia?

Most of the children with apraxia have some sort of " soft signs " such as mild

low tone, motor planning deficit or sensory issue in the body as well. You want

to know if these things are issues at all early on so you can secure appropriate

Early Intervention through the state as well. Starting in a few months you'll

already also be planning the IEP if needed which is for 3 and up. But for sure

if she's at 25 months already saying 80 words and already doing 2 word sentences

that's very cool and sounds like she either is already responding to whatever

therapies traditional and nutritional you are doing -or isn't presenting very

severe http://www.cherab.org/information/latetalkerhandout.html

I also just sent this out the other day to another new member who has a

21 month old diagnosed with apraxia as well

It just makes me so happy when I read messages like yours from new parents of

little ones who are so on it seeking help. is SO fortunate!!!! Here's

hoping that by the time she starts kindergarten everyone wonders if the apraxia

diagnosis was a misdiagnosis and she's talking up a storm! Again welcome and

let us know if you have other questions!

Oh and PS..did you see the serving suggestion page?
