can anyone help

[Guest guest]

Hi Jeanne,

Can you poost this for me please? Thanks.

My son is 2.5 and has apraxia. He has been in ABA for 5 months and is

responding well. However we think it is time to focus mainly on speech and

motor planning. We live in Haworth NJ, Bergen county and I am looking for

resources. I have heard of centers in central Jersey that focus on motor

planning, speech, music therapy etc. Does anyone know if there is a center

in this part of NJ that is great?

Thanks,

Jen

Subject: Apraxia question

Hi Jeanne,

I found your name on the Apraxia-Kids website and hope you can help me, or

guide me to someone who can help. I live in East Brunswick, NJ and have a

daughter named Gabi (almost 4 years old) with Down syndrome and apraxia.

While we know a lot about Down syndrome, the apraxia diagnosis is quite new

for us and so we aren't yet that familiar with local resources available for

apraxia.

I wanted to see if you have input on two topics. Firstly, Gabi's doctor

recommended that we pursue a language-based, Total Communication classroom

setting for my daughter (rather than the special ed classroom that she's

currently in). I wanted to see if you have any insight into such programs

and know how I can find out more about them. I have not yet pursued this

topic with my school district - I wanted to first do a little research on my

own and have a game plan in mind before moving forward with our school

district.

Secondly, the doctor also recommended that we look into augmentative devices

and potentially try to get Gabi comfortable using them. I don't know much

about this either, but was told that the best approach would be to get an

AAC evaluation and then assess the situation.

Finally, can you let me know what support groups/services there are in

Middlesex county related to apraxia?

Please let me know if you have any insight into these topics - especially

the first question about schooling which is one that I have had little

success finding info about when searching online. Feel free to either call

or email me at your convenience.

Thank you very much for your time. I greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Chaim

Hi Sana,

 

Have you tried NutriiVeda for your son. My daugher was diagnosed developmental

delays and has apraxia and since I started using NutriiVeda I have seen

improvements cognitively as well as in speech formation. She is doing so well at

school this year !! If you have any questions on NutriiVeda please feel free to

contact me at td23@...

All the best,

Demi
