Guest guest Posted February 24, 2001 Report Share Posted February 24, 2001 Hi Bill, The code most commonly used for Apraxia of speech is #315.4. Other acceptable codes are #784.69 and #781.3 (this code is more appropriate for hypotonia, coordination disorder, and sensory intergration dysfunction (SID)). Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 , Thanks for sharing this info. I am helping my foster daughter transition back her her family, her older brother also has ds and is a RUNNER. I will suggest to the family that they incorporate this into his IEP. Regarding this.......... we were having dinner with the family last night and they told me that the Psychologist for the school talked to the caseworker about placing the 13 yr old boy with ds in a residential treatment center. This family (Mom is now safely out of the picture)... has been working on learning how to care for these children, including the boys diabetes. They are helping me coach the sp needs soccer team and are learning how to continue making sure that my foster daughter gets an education. WHY would this person even THINK about suggesting this? For ANY child. Even if the family couldn't or wouldn't care for this child (which is NOT the case!) there are many families that would?

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Can't you take the boy (as part of the transition to getting the family back together)? Residential is the second most restrictive setting (after hospitalization) for a child. They need to put supports in place to keep him in the community. Of course you know that...I'm preaching to the choir. , you are an awesome foster parent! You definately have what it takes to work on the goal and serving as a mentor to the family. Have you gone through PRIDE training? Re: Code , Thanks for sharing this info. I am helping my foster daughter transition back her her family, her older brother also has ds and is a RUNNER.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 , Where can we get the article on wandering in Children with Downs. I have a feeling I am going to need it with Micah! He is already a wanderer at home if you are not right on top of him every second. (and with an 8 year old with ADHD unlocking the front door every other minute I am nuts). He just started pre-school and I want to be ready if the need arises. Thanks! Loree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Yes, please share! My daughter, Emma LOVES to run out my front door every chance she gets! I am constantly playing door monitor and it is tough because I have a daycare in my home and well my daycare parents are not always as careful as they should be! <file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Colleen%20Stephansen/My%20Documen ts/Web%20Page%20Design%20Graphics/Cute%20Colors.com/Cute%20Color%20Graph ics/Membership%20Graphics/Signature%20Tags%20Set3/ccmsigtag35.gif> Colleen Stephansen Colleen's Child Care <http://www.colleenschildcare.com/> Riverbank, CA Re: Code , Where can we get the article on wandering in Children with Downs.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 There is a whole newsletter at http://www.disabilitysolutions.org that addresses wandering in children with Down syndrome. There are other great newsletters you can access, too (like speech, DS with Autism Spectrum Disorder, etc.). You will need acrobat adobe to view the newsletter. You can download it at the site (it's free). I would suggest installing chain locks placed high up once your child starts walking. figured out he can take a chair and unlock the lock - so we put the locks on backwards (you have to have a key to get out). This summer, we had to nail the window latch so can't open the windows. Last week, I took the nails out, cleaned my windows cause I had the day off for the hurricane) and put the storm windows down. I dind't put the nails back in and he figured that out and left. He is one smart cookie! On Monday, we have a psychologist who specializes in MR services coming out to our house. A local university works in conjunction with the MR facility for this type of in home help - and it's free! Imagine that! --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Trying to get out only one person has the keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
