Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 My son is still non-verbal.. He has a great receptive language and communicates his needs via the Dynavox and some gibberish pronunciation of very limited words. He was diagnosed with Apraxia as well. Some say he has oral-motor issues. Others think this is just a behavior (verbal behavior crowd)... The bottom line is that he tries but the sounds don't come out as they suppose to. For example: If I say...say " Mommy " , he would say " appa " or " pa " If I say ...say " Open:, he would say " Puh " There are still sounds that he can not make such M.L.N.CEE, F,J, V,Z...... We have done typical speech therapy which helped with his receptive language...but the speech has not improved. He verbalizes and makes sounds ....but nothing close to the real words. Anyone out there had success with a particular speech therapist or a certain therapy that is helpful with older children similar to my son.
