Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 , Hang in there! I remember well the feelings I had when I discovered this group over a year ago....the wonder and awe that there were indeed other children like mine and other parents like me....it was and remains such a great feeling. It is a long tough road but doing your searching is the only way to go....keep looking for someone in your area that has heard of " apraxia " or " dyspraxia " ...start by finding something called a " developmental pediatrician " or a " pediatric nuerologist " .....sometimes these two specialities of physicians have been trained in this area. But more important is the treatment...keep looking for a therapist(s) that now how to get on the floor with the child, maintain the child's interest and " do the therapy " at the same time...whether it is an occupational therapist trained in oral motor or a speecha nd language pathologist trained in oral motor, either or both can be great if they know how to work with young children. Best wishes, Carol Holt (mom to a great kid named Micah, diagnosed with global developmental delay at nine mos. and with global dyspraxia at age five) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
