Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hi All, On Sept 7th, a week after moving back home to the SF Bay Area after a year abroad, we learned my 2.5 year old son has apraxia (and SPD, Hypotonia). We immediately got him into speech therapy 3 days a week, preschool 2 half days a week, and OT 1 day a week. We have also done hair tests, stool tests, and blood work to try to discover if there is more we could be doing to help him but nothing notable has come of any of these tests. We have an upcoming sleep study since he has always been a super restless one. On Oct 3rd we started him on Nordic Naturals EFA and Omegas. On Oct 24th we started him on a half scoop of Nutriiveda. We felt like we noticed a few more words than usual in the days following but today I think it was confirmed that we've got something positive going on. His preschool was all abuzz about his words on Tuesday. Three of the four teachers had to run over and tell me about it when I picked him up. Today (Thursday) they were so eager to share with me that he had " a language explosion " . Of course, I needed more details and so they began telling me example after example of what he had said (and several two word combos) and how it was appropriate for the context and blah, blah, blah. Needless to say I was and am THRILLED. Our SLP, whom we adore, said he is doing really well and she can now tell that he is making more consistent mistakes with his words. Which is a good thing because she can better target those particular sounds in their sessions. Anyway, just wanted to share my little anecdotal. Kind regards, Mom to Jack (2 yrs, 8 mo) and Jane (8 mo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
