what is the future like?

Sooooo-do children ever fully recover from this? what percentage of children

have learning disabilities, need tutors, help reading/writing---trying to

understand and prepare myself since noone can really tell me. I realize every

child is different but some kind of idea would be great. I live in Ga, does

anyone know an amazing SLP for apraxia? How do I know if I have the best SLP

for my son? They all say they work with apraxic children. Anyone have info on

the Atlanta Speech School-any info would be great!!!

Sammy is 3half and has been in therapy since 1half. He was in private school

last yr with a private facilitator. This year he is in a special needs program

at out local elem school. He has excelled and flourished there! He is

cognitively at 4half. Everyone says he is a good listener, follows direction,

smart, understands just about everything but missing the speech component. He is

keeping up with other typical kids on the playground, he has hypotonia too. I am

glad I can say all these things and brag since I couldn't say most these things

6 months ago! He has 120 minutes of ST on his IEP from school plus 120 minutes

extra private speech I do a week plus aquatic therapy. I'm exhausted to say the

least, also have a 22 month old. I wan to do everything I can to help him. My

husband was a late talker and walker and had learning issues, and know he had to

have tutors and was frsutrated/embarrassed at times. I don't want Sammy to feel

those pains. All help and advise is welcomed!! I can not say how happy I am for

this group, I just wish it cold also be in person and have something locally for

moral support...nonetheless I am grateful.
