Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Have you had him exrayed to see if he has bowel impaction? I have found that the enzymes and probiotics help with constipation. I would try to slowly increase the amount of enzymes and see if that does not help.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I would contact your district's early intervention program and ask for an evaluation. Services are free, and often quite good. I hate reading stories like this one, because my son, while on time with most of his non-speech milestones, was also slow to talk and I received the same advice. In time, our son did develop speech, but there were tell-tale signs, like not babbling, etc. that we should have paid attention to and unfortunately didn't. Meanwhile, precious time was lost and his problems with fine and gross motor skills becamse more apparent as he aged (just as we began to be less concerned about his speech). I still remember, when I brought up some isseus with gross motor skills (now resolved) that our ped said, " He will likely be the smart boy who runs like a girl. " It was comments like that, and the reassuring feedback about his speech, that caused us to miss out on early intervention that may well have helped us address his global apraxia sooner. Don't make the same mistake I made. Contact early intervention and take advantage of getting some help. Nothing to be fearful of, much to gain. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Here's some important questions: Does he gesture? Point or wave - any non-verbal communication? A child with autism spectrum disorder doesn't gesture usually. How about receptive - does he understand what you are saying to him? If you ask him to go get something for you, will he? An apraxic child has trouble talking, but still understands language. I think these questions are more telling than whether or not he is talking. There is a great book called The Late Talker that really gives a lot of information. My pediatrician told us the same thing so we contacted our state early intervention program and they came out and did a free evaluation and then free treatment. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 If you feel something is not right, don't waste time and get him screened. Your gut is telling you something is not right, and better to check it out and be wrong, or check it out and be right and get him the early intervention that he may need, the sooner you get started the better the results. Our son is going to be 11 years old next month, and he is our firstborn so we did not know how to gage his development, but he was a late crawler, and did not talk, and then he did not even try to walk until almost 2, finally taking his first steps about 26mths old. I went to the pediatrician who said oh give him a chance, and we waited and waited. Finally I took him to a neurologist who said wait and we did, he finally entered therapy at age 4 because we waited. Now he is almost 11 years old and in therapy 9hrs a week for Speech, OT, and PT for good measure. His clinical diagnosis is Global Dyspraxia. I wish we had not waited and I had gone with my gut. He may never speak, and that's ok we are working with PECS, and working our way toward a device. I would always rather be safe than sorry, get a screening and see what they say, I wish we had not taken a wait and see approach, doctors know more now than they did 10 years ago, and early intervention is sooooo critical!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi - my 2nd son was 24 months and barely said anything. He reached all other milestones. Walked by 12 months, etc. But I always felt something was up with his speech. I'd mentioned it many times to his pediatrician. He'd say words then stop. Finally at his 2 year old check up my ped. told me to have him evaluated thru early intervention which I think all towns have. Everyone told me to wait. He was young. Even my husband. I didn't wait. I had him evaluated and he was about 9-10 months behind expressively. He received in home therapy speech and o/t for 1 year then went into the handicapped preschool program. He is now in an integrated prek program. He has no lack of words. He talks up a storm. He's not always clear or like other kids. But he has language. At one point I think he'd never " converse " with me. Trust your gut. Get him evaluated by the district. You might also consider a private eval. My son's been to a neurologist and a developmental ped. who all confirmed his apraxia. Good luck with your child. Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Amy, My son is also 21 months and I just recently joined this group to start finding a solution/help, too. I will add that I contacted Early Intervention in my area, and did not need my doctor's approval to get an evalution and meeting scheduled. Thankfully, our wait will only be a month before we receive in-home therapy. If nothing else, I'll know I didn't " waste " another 6 months listening to others say " leave him alone " . I will also add, I was terribly shocked at how defensive and irritated outside family members reacted to my getting him help. After reading a few websites, I discovered it wasn't uncommon. Be prepared to deal with that; I wasn't. Kindest regards, RICHARD AND DAWN BLACKERBY <richardanddawn@...> wrote: Amy, My little boy did not talk until he was three. You might have First Steps in your area. My Ped. referred me to First Steps. He was evaluated and started speech therapy once a week for one hour.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I just wanted to mention that if you can't figure out who to contact for early intervention services a good place to start is by contacting Children's Medical Services, govt income support divisions or even head start programs. You don't need to be low income and using these programs to get EI services, but sometimes it can be hard to find where to go. The places I mention work with a lot of at risk babies and know who to put you in touch with to get evaluations and services. I know where I live you can't just look up " early intervention " in the phone book and find anything, but I can find all the above places in the govt section and it was actually Head Start that put me in touch with EI.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Sam, Asthma is a symptom of dehydration. Give small amounts of pure water, a couple of ounces at a time...after about 16 ounces give a pinch of sea salt..NOT table salt... on the tip of the tongue. Continue to do this until half the child's weight is consumed in ounces (100# of weight = 50 ounces of water) and continue to do it daily until all symptoms of asthma are gone. No soda pop or juices can be substituted for pure water, and no other beverages should be taken while doing this water treatment. Do NOT withhold food. Bonnie http://www.managehealthnaturally.com I need some help I have a 10 year old child who is developing asthma. I really don't know a great deal about the subject. I would appreaciated all the information I can get. I'm looking for some good web-sites or books on the topic. I'm also looking for a good support group in the Cleveland area.
