Hi everyone!!

As Martha, the parent of a late talker (apraxic?) child says about

her message below, " This should bring hope to many parents who are

just starting their journey "

Martha was the first one to start a Georgia support group -but as

soon as she joined our group, she started her 18 month old son on

ProEFA and in therapy. She is no longer active in our group -yet now

her son's story of inspiration will carry on in all of us. The

history will carry on in the archives so that maybe one day there

will be an interest in studying how to help more children achieve the

success that her son Ricky achieved. Was it from the young diagnosis

of apraxia that some say is not possible? Was it the therapy, the

school, the ProEFA -or was this incredible surge and change a

misdiagnosis of a child with a simple delay? Until research is

done...the world may never know for sure. But perhaps for now -these

words can shed light on many of us.

Congratulations to your whole family Martha, and to all who helped

Ricky to bring him a voice!

WOW!!! Martha's story is such an inspiration and such a pick-me-up!

That is truly encouraging for us as her son sounds like my son in

terms of diagnosis! Thanks for sharing that story!!
