Some suggestions for overseas!

[Guest guest]

My brother's son in Spain was just diagnosed with Apraxia. They are

American Missionaries in Spain and need both resources and perhaps a

list of competent professionals either in Spain or in Europe. Could

you please help? My parents are going over in March or I could email

them information you send me.

Thank you for you time and effort.

Mrs. Carol Webster,

In regards to your search, I am at my best to find informative links

that perhaps will lead you to the right specialist in Spain.My finding

were limited and I even went through some Spain search engines and

found most links brought me back to the U.S. However, I'm sure there

is more out there, it's only a matter of finding the right resources!

I did come across the University of Barcelona of Spain Website

and found an index in English. There listed are some people with

individual e-mail addresses http://www.ub.es/pbasic/sppb_people.htm

It's my hope that perhaps these contacts be can give your son more

information on specialist in his area.

Dr.Núria Sebastián, Dr. Bosch, Dr. Albert Costa, Dr.

Salva Soto,Dr. Angels Colomé, Dr. Olga Soler, Dr.Pep Batista, Dr.

Ruth deDiego,Dr.Mikel Santesteban , Dr.Xavier Mayoral. They stated

that their research has focused on aspects of phonologically encoding

in speech perception and production. In collaboration with different

colleagues,I have been studying issues, such as the processing of

phonetic categories, suprasegmentals and prosody. These issues have

been addressed by studying both adult and infant subjects.

Also the SPPB (Speech Perception, Production, Bilingualism) is a

search group within the Department of Psicologia Bàsica at

University of Barcelona.http://www.ub.es/pbasic/sppb_index.htm

As for other informative links, Apraxia kids has resources available

for the UK. http://www.apraxia-kids.org/resources/uk.html a Mack

is the editor and may have even more access information available for

you. I also recall people posting from Spain and Europe, perhaps you

can ask over Apraxia Kids listserv for information. These are some

suggestions that I hope will benefit you in your search. Best wishes

on your findings, it's most important that your brother's son receive

the correct services and therapy!

If I do come across anything more definite regarding services, I will

contact you. Also when all is worked out, please inform us about

available resources overseas, so we can pass the word around to

others!

Sincerely, Mustafa
