Re: apraxia....what supplements help this

[Guest guest]

does he have a system like PEC's? how does he communicate? my daughter did

not say one word

until age 5 when we started PEC's. she has a dynavox now and it's very

helpful for her. she will say

one or two words at the time and also will say her needs. we also did 3

years of auditory training which

was very helpful.

What kind of fish oil?? People over on the apraxia group have found

that kids often need some Omega 6 along with the Omega 3 EFA's for it

to " work " . Also, they seem to need higher EPA than DHA.

The most popular fish oil supplement that seems to work is Nordic

Naturals Complete Omega 3-6-9 (also known as Pro-EFA).

Check out the group for more information.

It looks like you've tried everything for your non verbal child.

Have you tried homeopathy? Maybe you should consult a classical homeopath.

All the things related to GABA (many of which are Rx medications) are often what

works

for nonverbal children.

Before homeopathy I would suggest finding a chiropractic neurologist and trying

that

approach.

Andy,

Thank you for this advise for the chiropratic nerologist. No has

mentioned GABA to me and a Rx could be the solouttion. I will read up

on this.

Will hyperbaric oxygen treatments help w/apraxia? I've never tries

that.

thx.

Hi,

Yes, we do use pecs at school and home. We too use a dynavox and

still do. He understands how to use it ....and is sucessful w/it.

He uses a lot of non-verbal communication. He'll bring me a cup for

water. Get a spoon from the drawer. Make me open the fridge for food

or just serve himself.

Thx,

Have you tried VBA therapy? Most bio-med protocols discuss the

importance of using bio-medical approaches to enable your child to

benefit from more traditional therapies. I have seen many children

slip through the cracks while using just Speech, OT, Spec. Ed at

school and bio-med when they aren't receiving ABA (VBA is ABA with a

verbal-behavior concentration). Just a suggestion!!

Good luck!
