Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 Hi! Are you asking if digestive enzymes can help with eye contact and auditory processing? If so, yes, based on feedback from parents on this board and in my own experience with my son. Not all children are helped, but the majority report some degree of success and eye contact and auditory processing are two areas of improvement given. Be sure to post if you have more questions. > my son has problems with eye contact, auditory processing but no > stomach issues. can these proteins help and if so which ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 My 3 year old son's medical problems were basically resolved by being the GFCF diet but the diet did not improve his autistic symptoms. He started enzymes about 6 weeks ago and his auditory processing (word recognition & receptive language) has improved exponentially. Eye contact wasn't as much of a problem but it also has dramatically improved. He is now starting to make sounds too. This has been ongoing over the 6 weeks, it did not happen suddenly when he started enzymes.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I to have a son who will be three in Oct. He will be leaving the first step program with speech for an hour twice a week. He will be going for IEP evaluation Sept 30. They too say 20-30 min once a week is what is " normal " for the kids. I know it wont be enough. My son uses sign along with very few words. We have had the same therpist for a year and she is great . We had two befor her I didnt think they were as connected with my sons needs. I dont think any therpist will help it is going to take a special one that know about apraxia . Our therpist wrote a letter for us to put in my sons file she say he has child hood apraxia and gives referance to Baby Talks. A page from ASHA that site has alot info on apraxia. My son says maybe 30 words . He does try to make the sounds with much prompting and much facial groping on his part. I think the more you as a parent about the disorder the better we are to get what the kids need at the school level... I am hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
