When I say Quinn's apraxia is " resolved " , I mean in a functional sense. I don't believe he was " cured " of his speech disorder, moreso that he has it under control and has developed strategies for any difficulties that arise. Quinn still speaks with what I would call for lack of a better description, a slight accent, but his speech is clear and he is understood by all. If he is overly excited, he has fluency problems and has word retrieval difficulty. A stranger would never know there was ever an issue. As far as repeating the sentence you mention? He would likely have trouble, which would be elevated if he was stressed or tired. But I think my typically developing daughter (6) would have trouble with something that length as well - but I think I see where your going with that - I don't believe that he was miraculously cured of apraxia (therefore putting the idea out there that he never had apraxia at all) - he has just worked really hard and has overcome it to a point where he is functioning at or above the level of his peers. He was as you mentioned, misdiagnosed with PDD-NOS - the apraxia " identification " (SLP's can only " Identify " here in Canada, not diagnose), was appropriate, it was not a case of him talking late. Therefore I feel that saying Quinn's apraxia is resolved is appropriate. Does that make sense? (and answer your question?) As soon as I get a copy of the essay, I would be glad to post it. I'm just so proud of him, and it's so exciting to see how proud of himself he is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Oh, , that is fantastic! Congratulations to Quinn and to you! Sherry lbwheaton <lchase@...> wrote: Hi all, I don't often post anymore, but had to share our latest news on Quinn. We found out today that Quinn was selected out of all the grade one students in his school to attend the Early Years Literacy Project Children's Conference celebrating young readers and writers from Toronto District School Board. Selection Process involved the children writing (unassisted), on the topic of " My voice is important because... " I have no idea what he wrote yet (when I asked him, he said " I forget " ), but we get to see his submission after the conference. Since there was a time that Quinn didn't have a voice, you can all imagine how significant this is to us. We are so proud of him and I mist up just thinking about it. After resolving his apraxia after years of therapy, we were concerned that he could be at risk for literacy issues. We are so proud that this is another obstacle he has overcome.
