Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hi Marie, This is something I pointed out years (10?) ago as a benefit of being a late talker. I hope one day it's researched and validated because with this knowledge this can be used as I and many of us did to help our children excel in school. I just found the most recent message I put out about this and it was 11 months ago when Lois posted her update. Below is the archive as well as Lois' update again since that brought up the topic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~start of archive ....yes http://www.pursuitofresearch.org but it was originally meant for just the parents as a fundraiser- what happened was far beyond that and I'm already speaking with a few people as this will PROBABLY BE A MOVIE And Lois back to your much deserved....CONGRATULATIONS!!! I believe in Nutriiveda too!!! And about the memory aspect -I have a bunch of this in the archives -literally hundreds of messages about " phenomenal memory " in our children -below is a compilation of a few of them! No matter what the special need there are gifts given when things are taken away. The gift given for speech impairments and delays typically is phenomenal memory. Many actors are speech impaired to some extent- perhaps why they can memorize those scripts better than most. Tanner has always had the unusual memory like many of our kids do at preschool age. For example -you tell your two year old late talker (delay or disordered) that " no more cookies tonight. Tomorrow you can have another cookie " and tomorrow morning that child wakes up and goes to the place you keep the cookies and points. Or you drive someplace once and the next time you go there they point out which way to go next on the road. Not the out of sight out of mind short attention span most 2 year olds have. There are a few reasons I feel this way -don't have time to go into all of them now. But for one -most of us have found our children have these die hard memories! Not a normal memory for a " normal " child -most kids you can get to forget a point by bringing up something else that interests them -not many of the children in this group! (of course you can never say " always " -just more often than not. Just like the trouble blowing the nose thing that I first brought up -this is yet another observation you will not read about in books...yet) When Tanner learns his spelling words -he not only knows how to spell even hard words -he tells me the word on the list (of ten each week) and then spells it -like his memory is a picture he can just look at. Perhaps -due to using a different pathway and developing such pathway -they have an edge we don't yet understand. Or perhaps it's because while others their age are able to babble and talk about anything that comes to mind that have to hold each thought until they can figure out a way to communicate it to us especially when it's something important to them. No matter where it comes from, keep in mind that is one of the signs of a gifted student. ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 My 2.5 year old with apraxia also has a very good memory, I always notice it when we are driving. My 8yr old with suspected dyslexia has an incredible memory! We were driving a month or so ago and he saw an old blue pickup truck. He said " Remember when we went out to the country and went to the fair? We saw the truck pull contest. That looks like the blue truck that won that year. It's a Ford just like the one that won with the lady driving it. "  I couldn't remember but it was getting to me the next day because I knew it had to be quite a few years ago. I found in his scrap book a photo of my son standing in front of the blue truck that won the contest. It was a Ford with a woman driving it. The date was written on the page and he was 21 months old at the time.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 interesting fyi...my husband found an article on the developer/founder of twitter. He had speech issues as a child (not sure if apraxia- knew what he wanted to say, couldn't get it out). One thing mentioned in the article is that he was incredible, even as a kid, at directions/maps- abnormally incredible- to the point that this is what he worked on most in his work before twitter. my husband found that very interesting after noticing this kind of stuff in our son. ________________________________ From: kiddietalk <kiddietalk@...> Sent: Sun, March 13, 2011 7:51:28 PM Subject: [ ] Re: unusual memory Hi Marie, This is something I pointed out years (10?) ago as a benefit of being a late talker.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 hi, this kind of memory for roads ,maps i have seen in my daughter..but thought she is simply very keen observer.(my 3 year old is PDD_NOS with apraxia) ..though she is non verbal ,clearly knows every small lane, cross, turns we take to her school,therapies.if its a new road ,she taps the driver while coming back to take appropriate directions,if we turn wrong just to annoy her,she starts crying and keeps showing the right direction.me n my husband forget sometime,how we came but never my daughter. dont know how can she remember it so far never failing...i guess these kids have brains which works beyond the realm of present science.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Oh my gosh....this brings back memories of when my son was little and absolutely HATED going to home depot. We tried taking every back road and detour to no avail, he knew where we were and would completely melt down.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Both my kids with apraxia had off the charts memories. One memorized the entire " Following Directions " card deck (the directions and the tiny number in the corner) after playing with it a couple of times. My theory is that since apraxic kids can't access and retrieve words in a typical manner, their brains try to " memorize " everything in compensation. That same kid is now great and no longer needs speech -- and her memory is now more typical. Her twin is still severely apraxic and will likely be getting therapy for several more years. At five she memorized all the state capitals (from a puzzle), and now you can tell her the capital and she'll tell you the state... weird apraxia memory thing...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Unusually strong memory for my son too, he always had that even before fish oils and nv. We used to go for therapy at a hospital near us before he was diagnosed with apraxia. Even though he was only 2 years old I always followed my son to his therapy room because after the first day of therapy he somehow knew how to get back to his therapy room even when I thought we were lost.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 My son who is 11 and has a dual diagnosis of Apraxia and Autism has an amazing memory for every street, exit ramp and freeway system we have ever travelled on--it is like being with a human GPS system. I never worry about not finding my car as even when he was 5 or 6 I would say " lets go find Mama's car and off he went " This is not genetic I assure you as I get lost driving at least weekly and it never ceases to amuse my son to no end when he sees I take a wrong turn and reminds me of it immediately......LOL! > > > > > > interesting fyi...my husband found an article on the developer/founder of > > > twitter.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I just had to chime in on this - Josh also has an amazing memory. He is seeing a psychologist for various reasons and he always relates current things to things that happened even when he was 2 years old (he's almost 13). And, like others here, he knows the way to everywhere! His long term memory is incredible. Short term not so much, but long term memory is amazing.  Sherry and Josh From: gabriele lawrence <windsweptt@...> Subject: [ ] Re: unusual memory Date: Wednesday, March 16, 2011, 5:11 PM My son who is 11 and has a dual diagnosis of Apraxia and Autism has an amazing memory for every street, exit ramp and freeway system we have ever travelled on--it is like being with a human GPS system.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I just checked the archives and have below the first messages here about memory- and how I consider this to be a gift. I find it funny at times to go back and read what I or others write in the past -sometimes we speculate about things that end up being the direction we are in...like below when I speculate about nutrition needing to be explored more for answers for our children prior to all the science I've now found to support this that I have on http://www.pursuitofresearch.org ! Amazing Mon Jan 17, 2005 2:03 pm He's always had the unusual memory..even long before EFAs or zinc, like many of our kids do at preschool age. For example -you tell your two year old late talker (delay or disordered) that " no more cookies tonight. Tomorrow you can have another cookie " and tomorrow morning that child wakes up and goes to the place you keep the cookies and points. Or you drive someplace once and the next time you go there they point out which way to go next on the road. Not the out of sight out of mind short attention span most 2 year olds have. I do know there are strong nutritional links to helping our children. And nutritional links should also be included more in studies as to why the increase in various conditions. ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
