Hi , I just have one question: How did you get him to sit still

and play. I have been chasing Hailey for 5 years. Im so tired...lol

She too has apraxia...please let me know if you find out any info on

your theory. Hailey keeps on going like the energizer bunny..lol

Two things:

1. Apraxia IS a tor planning issue. The brain knows what it wants to say, but

it can't quite tell the mouth to form the words.

2. Often, toddlers " halt " one skill when learning another one, because they

cannot work on two skills at once. I believe that's been a topic of discussion

on the group before.

As I sat and recapped Charlie Hart's " onset " of Apraxia, I realized

that he had a drastic decline in speech when he began to walk.

him). THE MOST AMAZING THINK BEGAN TO HAPPEN!!! I was totally

UGH! That was SUPPOSED to say, " MOTOR planning issue, " not " tor planning

issue. " Sorryyboard keep sticking. I guess I'm gonna have to get out the

Okay ,

It's is only cruel if you replace the " leash " portion with an actual one LOL

I had one when I was a kid and I had one for Trey when we went to Disneyland in

CA back '01.....The harness slipped over his head and velcroed about his torso

and the " handle " or " leash " portion of it was detachable....I was very tempted

to replace it with one of thos retractable dog leashes (like a 16 footer LOL)

because it just wasn't long enough LOL

I wish I could find another one for Austin.....I can't find them anywhere! And

the funny thing was that I bought Trey's @ Wal-Mart....can't find one now....

I have one for Molly. Any time anyone looks at me funny, I just say, " Have you

ever lost a Deaf child in a crowd of people? "

I got mine at Walmart. They also have them at Meijer.

Becky, I think we had this conversation a few months ago. You still never found

one? Would you like me to get one and send it to you? I know I'd be terrified

to go a lot of places with Molly if I didn't have mine.

OH that would be great! And just let me know how much it is and I'll

reimburse you...I've even tried Lowes for heaven's sake (that's where I find

most of the Kids Safety First products like the lock for the Oven & Fridge) and

they didn't have it.

I think in someway about movement and speech you are correct. Isabella

also lost her speech when she started to walk. The really strange thing is

since we got OT and they move her around a lot she she babble more when they

leave. It is almost like they woke her speech up. They think it is a sensory

issue. Does he speak more when he is done running around? I am going to start

to watch if Isabella speaks when she is walking or running, I don't think she

does. I think she does it when she is done moving? This is very interesting

that you also noticed that.

OH that would be great! And just let me know how much it is and I'll

reimburse you...I've even tried Lowes for heaven's sake (that's where I find

most of the Kids Safety First products like the lock for the Oven & Fridge) and

they didn't have it.

It's so frustrating honestly LOL

Apraxia related to movement? Possibly?

I know from what I have read that any type of Apraxia

is " neurological " in order; although, I have read that some Apraxia

is ideopathic (unknown origin).<br>

As I sat and recapped Charlie Hart's " onset " of Apraxia, I realized

that he had a drastic decline in speech when he began to walk.

Anyways....lately, he has been running up and down the hall of my

mother's house, going from room to room, cabinet to cabinet, driving

me crazy!!!! We thought it was because it is a new environment and he

was just " checking it out " . It got so bad that we decided to employ

the use of a children's restraint harness (like a leash); I know you

all have seen them before? I used to think it was awful to have a

child on a leash. Anyway...so, I made him sit and play with his

siblings in one spot (partly because I was worn out from chasing

him). THE MOST AMAZING THINK BEGAN TO HAPPEN!!! I was totally

shocked. After his initial " crying " because I was makinghim stay

still, he began to play and interact " VERBALLY " with his siblings.

Most of what he was saying was unintelligible at that point, but

nonetheless he was talking!!! I still cannot pinpoint why, but I am

checking into the neural pathways in the brain to figure out why. One

of my daughters then cmmented that it was totally impossible for her

to " walk and chew gum simultaneously " . I laughed, but I thought that

was quite odd. She insists it is true and I verified she is not

lying; she cannot do it. <br>

I got to thinking about how active Charlie Hart is and how since he

began to walk and run that he has not spoken hardly at all. Has

anyone heard of this occurring? Could it be that his " movement " is

interfering with his " speech " because he cannot do both at the same

time? <br>

I tested my theory by removing the harness and letting him have his

freedom of movement again; all of the sudden, he went SILENT " AND " he

no longer paid attention to anything I was saying like he did when he

was sitting in one place. <br> What is happening here? Maybe I ned to

see a neurologist for him and explain all of this? Is this why speech

therapy works because they sit in a confined environment for a perid

of time on a regular basis? <br>

This is very odd to have witnessed this, but I am going to roll with

it and I need some help decidig on who to go to in order to see what

is happening. <br>

Thanks for the input in advance.

Oh my goodness!!!  I was so excited to see this email.  Kaylee had the EXACT

SAME LOSS OF SPEECH!!!

 

Kaylee had a great little vocabulary going,  I almost wondered if she even

needed speech because she had so many clear words and seemed to be picking up

more so rapidly.  I remember telling my older kids that as soon as she learned

to walk her speech would really take off.  Instead, at 19 months, as soon as she

began walking, she fell absolutely silent.  She even lost basic, key words like

mama.  I was crushed and even began to believe that she may have autism.

 

That was almost a year ago and she has regained very, very little speech. I am

comforted to hear that she picked up mama again and she has started to try to

make sounds again but she still is not even close to what she had a year ago.

 

What do we do???  Will they just eventually get it back??? 

 

Help!!!

I know from what I have read that any type of Apraxia

is " neurological " in order; although, I have read that some Apraxia

is ideopathic (unknown origin).<br>

As I sat and recapped Charlie Hart's " onset " of Apraxia, I realized

that he had a drastic decline in speech when he began to walk.

Anyways....lately, he has been running up and down the hall of my

mother's house, going from room to room, cabinet to cabinet, driving

me crazy!!!! We thought it was because it is a new environment and he

was just " checking it out " . It got so bad that we decided to employ

the use of a children's restraint harness (like a leash); I know you

all have seen them before? I used to think it was awful to have a

child on a leash. Anyway...so, I made him sit and play with his

siblings in one spot (partly because I was worn out from chasing

him). THE MOST AMAZING THINK BEGAN TO HAPPEN!!! I was totally

shocked. After his initial " crying " because I was makinghim stay

still, he began to play and interact " VERBALLY " with his siblings.

Most of what he was saying was unintelligible at that point, but

nonetheless he was talking!!! I still cannot pinpoint why, but I am

checking into the neural pathways in the brain to figure out why. One

of my daughters then cmmented that it was totally impossible for her

to " walk and chew gum simultaneously " . I laughed, but I thought that

was quite odd. She insists it is true and I verified she is not

lying; she cannot do it. <br>

I got to thinking about how active Charlie Hart is and how since he

began to walk and run that he has not spoken hardly at all. Has

anyone heard of this occurring? Could it be that his " movement " is

interfering with his " speech " because he cannot do both at the same

time? <br>

I tested my theory by removing the harness and letting him have his

freedom of movement again; all of the sudden, he went SILENT " AND " he

no longer paid attention to anything I was saying like he did when he

was sitting in one place. <br> What is happening here? Maybe I ned to

see a neurologist for him and explain all of this? Is this why speech

therapy works because they sit in a confined environment for a perid

of time on a regular basis? <br>

This is very odd to have witnessed this, but I am going to roll with

it and I need some help decidig on who to go to in order to see what

is happening. <br>

Thanks for the input in advance.
