Developmental dysphasia diagnosis???

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My now 26 month old son saw a pediatric neurologist back in December to confirm

our our Early Intervention DI therapist's unofficial diagnosis of apraxia.

After evaluating our son, the pediatric neurologist confirmed he had apraxia.

He even recommended The Late Talker book, mentioned there was a website (how I

indirectly found this group), and when I asked about fish oils, he recommended

the Nordic Naturals. We finally got a copy of his evaluation this evening (10

weeks after our appointment!), and his evaluation indicates that my son has

evidence of Developmental Dysphasia, plus mild hypotonia. Developmental

Dyspahsia??? What is this??? My husband and I have done some searching, but we

can't find much information on this in the Internet. Additionally, I'm more

than a little concerned about the " developmental " description, particularly

since we already expect a battle with Horizon BC/BS to get coverage for speech

therapy. Anyone have any experience with this diagnosis? What should be my

next steps, beyond calling and asking for a clarification?

Thanks!
