Another Update

[Guest guest]

Hi-

I thought I would add another Vitamin E update. My son has

been on EFAs for several years, and was never one that saw the huge

benefit from it. He started to answer yes/no quesitons for the

first time after we started them, and made many more verbal attempts

with us and therapist when we started. But, he really never had a

language surge of any kind. He remained severely apraxic. That was

about 3 years ago - now at 7 years old and in 1st grade he is

definitely a verabl child and is making progress every day. He also

is globally delayed and very much fits the (European and Canadian)

description of Developmental Coordination Disorder.

We started Vit. E a little over a month ago. I have not seen any

change in language, behavior or fine motor skills. I have, I think,

seen improvements in gross motor abilities. As his soccer coach,

I'm pretty tuned into this. What we really saw was him go from a

beginning bike-rider (learned to ride a 2-wheeler in late July) to

looking like he has been riding for years. Standing up while

pedaling, off curbs, great steering ability, etc.) Was this the E?

I have no idea.

also has epilepsy, so unfortunately he is not the pure apraxic

that some of your kids are-
