Long term issues w/ Apraxia?

[Guest guest]

Hello!

 

I wanted to thank everyone for their feedback for my daughter in the different

types of therapies.   We met with the Dept of Dev Disabilities today and they

suggested we apply for long term care for her, to try and meet her true therapy

needs.

 

However, I have been told (from others, not directly from them) it is extremely

difficult to qualify for this and they don't see lack of speech as a serious

issue (at least not until they are much older) nor do they recognize Apraxia. 

 

My daughter is receiving ST, OT and has a Dev Specialist right now, but if

anyone has any articles or information about the LONG TERM ramifications of

Apraxia and all the different ways it can effect a child, esp that will not go

away on their own, could you please let me know?  School issues, Safety and

Social--along w/poss physical, are very important parts from what I understand. 

I want them to understand the full and long term issues of Apraxia as best as

possible.

 

Thank you!!
