New to DIagnosis, Doing my research

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

I have a 2 1/2 year old son with verbal apraxia. I diagnosed it

myself by research, the early intervention people were NO help with

this part of it.

I am lucky enough to live close to the office where Hammer

works, so he personally diagnosed . Mr. Hammer said it is one

of the MOST clear-cut cases of developmental apraxia he has ever seen

in his years in practice.

After one hour in Hammer's office, said four words he never

had before. Now I am just waiting for all the reports to get to all

the right people so I can take on the insurance company. Or get a

job to pay for therapy, if I lose that fight.

I am so relieved just to know that this is " fixable " And to all

those people in my family who said " leave him alone, he'll talk when

he's ready " I can now say BIG FAT TOLD YOU SO~!
