pls help,... how to accurately diagnose apraxia

[Guest guest]

Iam so thankful to find this sight, at least i can talk to moms who can

understand my concern. anyway, i have a 26 month old boy who is not yet talking

aside from daddy, da de ish oh oh, he cant imitate words or animal sounds but

you can see that he is trying. he is with a speech therapist for about 5 months

now, receptively he improved a lot but expressively not, some of the words he is

saying before now he is not saying it even you ask him to repeat. His therapsit

say he could have apraxia, he also drools a lot as in a lot but now very

minimal, he can't blow , and had hard time learning how to use a straw,

regarding his feeind he is fine he eats good and chew his food.

i ask his therapist today if when can we diagnose his condtion, she said she

cant still say if its 100 percent apraxia because he is not yet imitating, we

went to pediatric neurlogist and say he is not autistic about apraxia he did

not make a commet and wants us to come back on dec.

i feel bad not to know whats going on with my precious son , thats why i want

to ask you with the same experience, how is it possible that your kiddos wewe

diagnosed earlier than mine, any help or advice pls....

i will be giving birth next week to a new boy and i started this journey for

less than a year now and now still no luck on knowing whats wrong with my son,

pls pls help...
