Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 My son will be 6 in a couple of weeks. He is in transistional kindergarten, and will go to kindergarten in the fall. He just got an i-touch as a gift from his uncle. (he heard there are sppech apps) There is only one I have heard about that is $200. Sorry I have no idea how to say the name, but it has 2go at the end of it. When my husband was looking online though he saw a bunch of speech apps for much cheaper. My son can talk some but has a very limited vocab. and can only do about 2-4 word sentences. I think he will do fine in school, but am a bit concerned about how he might answer questions in class. And the presure he might feel if he can't be understood. I am toying with the idea, and would discuss with the teacher that if he had something there to help him, he wouldn't have to focus so much on what he should be saying as opposed to what is going on in the class. Are there any you recommend, or have tried that are no good? Or any tips in general about our new venture in life? Thanks! ~Crystal, Mother to 5, Apraxia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 My daughter sounds a lot like your son. We just adopted her from China in July 2010. She has an official diagnosis of " Severe Cerebellar Hypoplasia " ... this also affects her balance (which was zero seconds until I started praying for her balance to increase (in February)... now she is at 4-6 seconds regularly). I would be interested in learning about what you find out... she currently speaks 2-4 word sentences as well. She learned all her sounds the first 3 weeks she came home with the Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD. Patty SweetPrincessla.blogspot.com From: cassrob224@...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I have been reading all these messages about the ipad as well and am looking into saving up for one now. I found this message from Gang for apps and have printed it out for my son's folder for when we do buy the ipad http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=15792 & post=106478 & uid=115029735601#post1\ 06478 Kate > > My daughter sounds a lot like your son.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hi: My daugter has apraxia and she will be 4 in June. Currently being evaluated for augmentative device. I have TaptoTalk in my iPod is $99 but there is a free version, w/paid version you can personalize with you own pictures. Proloquo2go, My Talk, are other apps. You can also check for apraxia speech on the search and it gives you more. Hope it help, good luck. Arlene From: plfouts@...
