Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 hello, i'm lori,i'm 30 yrs old, married to a marine, we just moved to new jersey from north carolina almost a year ago. lexi my daughter who will be 3 in november was being seen in NC in early interventin, EI, for speech therapy for apraxia. Well when we moved here, nj's EI said she wasn't qualified for the program and was not apraxic. so they left. she has not been making ANY improvements, in fact the other day a stranger thought she was a 1 yr old by the way she was talking. very hard to understand her and now the frustration and aggression has taken its tole on all of us mainly my other daughter emma who is 4 and gets the hits from lexi when lexi gets mad. well i took her for a check up after her asthma attack, and got a referral to a private therapist to be evaluated, she instantly said lexi needed speech, and was not diagnosing her until she was seen by the neurologist which was today. well the neurologist said she has oral motor apraxia and will need speech therapy. now my question, where's the light at the end of the tunnel, we have been back and forth with she has this she doens't and now she has it again. do i trust this diagnosis? what can i do at home to lesson the aggression that lexi deals with on a daily basis, once she gets ina sour mood it's very hard to get her to stop being upset and clinging to me. looking forward to hearing back from everyone! lori -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- View Source Use Fixed Width Font Unwrap Lines -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- " powderblue1279 " <Libertymonster@...
