New to group, looking for answers...

Hi all,

My name is Sue and my daughter's name is Kaylee. We live in

Rochester, NY!!! We noticed Kaylee wasn't talking at an early age,

but her pediatrician wasn't that concerned. It wasn't till she was 20

months old that she introduced us to the early intervention program.

After all the tests she started having speech therapy 2 x 60.

Eventually it swithced to group 1 x 90 with individual therapy 1 x

60, weekly. When she turned three, we changed agencies. Just before

we changed they mentioned that she may have Apraxia. Her brother

started in therapy at that time too. Kaylee is now " 3 " and

is " 2 " . After a year with this agency, Kaylee has made great

strides. We still have some problem understanding her, but for the

most part, she is doing very well. Her brother, who also had a

speech delay, is doing great!!! No mention of apraxia with him..

Althogh, he has a list of other problems.

I was just wondering, Kaylee wore a helmet as an infant for an

extremely flat head. I'm sure this has nothing to do with her speech

delay, but is it possible? She has had her hearing tested, and

everything is normal. She is also a very smart child who has no

problem understanding you.

Is there anything further we should be doing that would improve her

speech? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sue
