My son is now 10 and was diagnosed with verbal apraxia and motor

planning disorder at the age of 2.8 years old. His speech is 1.5

years old behind his peers according to testing but this is unknown to

his classmates. My son is very quiet, some may say he is shy, but

parents do not pick up on his speech impediment. It is very slight.

He continues speech therapy and auditory processing treatment.

Please be patient! Your son is still so young . . . it is a slow

process with a great prognosis if treated early. Keep up the good

work!

I give my son Coromega 2x a day (a.m./3 P.M.) plus a multivitamin in

the morning (Flintstones complete with zinc)

You know what, I meant to say I used 10 omegas total per day. I

think that it was 6 pro-efas and 4 pro-epas at that time, but I did

adjust the ratios quite a bit. I didn't have Meg on this dose for

too long. Now she takes about 4 per day of pro-efa, no pro-epa, and

400 IUs Vitamin E.

Yes, I saw the biggest surges on the fish oils, lipoceutical

glutathione, and GFCF diet (progress in potty training and sensory

stuff but not speech on the diet). That's not to say that the other

stuff didn't help too. Meg improved so dramatically after I got

aggressive with the supplements (this was also at the point where

she was getting lots of ST and OT) it was sometimes hard to tell

when a surge began and where it ended.

Feel free to email me privately if you have any other questions!

To and Kerri, good for you both for being so aggressive with the fish oils

and other supplements. Truly a miracle, isn't it, that your daughters by age 4

are caught up and/or nearly so. What a blessing. I am absolutely thrilled at

reading of your wonderful success.

Now what I want to know is this: What kind of therapy did your children have,

how many times a week, etc. And was the therapy 12 months a year, etc. I hope

you can take the time to write a few words on this.

Thanks so much for your help.

Suzanne

[ ] Re: Thanks to all who responded...

My daughter was diagnosed right after she turned 2, and now has

normal

speech at age 4. We also used EFAs, liposomal glutathione (now called

essential GSH from wellnesshealth. com), carnaware, gfcf diet, methyl

b12 injections and other supplements. Treating gut problems (yeast and

bacterial overgrowth, addressing food reactions) was important for my

daughter also. We are now giving vit E, but her language was normal

before we started that.

Hi Suzanne-

My daughter had ABA for 1 1/2 years (she also had an ASD dx in

addition to the apraxia). She started off with 8-10 hrs/week, and

gradually we reduced that to 3-4 hrs/week. She had speech therapy 1-2

times a week during most of that time, though I don't think it was

intense enough to help much. She made steady progress in ABA, but her

biggest gains came from the supplements. I encourage you to try the

supplements, since the gains you get from them come more easily than

gains from therapy.

Meg had ST for almost a year. She started at once per week, but we

were able to quickly ramp her up to 2 x 30 mins per week of EI (ie

not very good) therapy and 2 x 30 mins per week of great private

therapy. As far as OT goes, she had private therapy for only 3

months for 45 mins/week, and OT at preschool 1 hr/month for 5 months.

Each therapist who saw Meg was stunned by her amazing progress. And

then the people from the school district couldn't even remember how

to write up a discharge, because almost every child who starts

special ed stays in it for a long time.

Hi Ann,

You may get a lot of responses on this, or maybe no others because

the question comes up so frequently. 2 Pro-EFA Jrs is a VERY

conservative dose. Two juniors equals one adult cap, so I have

given my daughter up to 10 times that dose (10 adult caps or 20

juniors). There is not necessarily a correlation between weight and

the " right " dose. I think that younger children actually have

higher dietary requirements of EFAs, at least as a percentage of

total calories. Restricting trans fats in the diet can help a

little bit too.

A very typical suggestion from this board is to double your dose to

2 Pro-EFAs (use the adult caps because they're much cheaper when you

compare amounts), then add in one capsule of EPA or Pro-EPA (because

many kids seem to do better with a higher EPA to DHA ratio). The

next step would be to do the whole thing twice a day (ie 2 EFAs and

1 EPA twice per day), and you can go up to three times per day if

you feel comfortable. When I went through this with my daughter,

she had surges in speech each time the dose was increased.

Depending on your comfort level, you could take 1 week to 1 year to

increase this much (I think I took about 1 month).

There are lots of other supplements to consider. Vitamin E is the

new vogue around here. Lots of kids are seeing good results. Carn-

Aware is another popular one. But if I were you, I'd get to a more

therapeutic fish oil dose first.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Kerri,

You had written in another post that your daughter, now around 4, is doing so

very well now. With all this success, at this point, are you still on those

high doses of ProEFA and ProEPA? How much of those are you giving her at this

time? Also, did you go the Vitamin E route, and how much of that are you giving

her? Your information has been so helpful, and I am hoping for more........

Thanks, Suzanne

Suzanne,

I tried to reply just a minute ago but I'm pretty sure it didn't go

through. I'm glad I've been helpful for you!

Meg currently takes 4 Pro-EFAs, 400IUs alpha Vitamin E, a children's

multi, and as much vitamin C as I can get into her. We frequently

forget to do all or part of this. I think that the E has helped

with Meg's athleticism (sp?), but really I can't be sure. We don't

see regressions anymore, even off all of her supps for a week, but I

plan on continuing because I think it's still helpful and healthful

for her on some level.

Thank you so very, very much. You have raised new hope and made this burden so

Suzanne,

You are very welcome. There are many families on this board who, at

least eventually, have had the same success as us. But many many

more who don't stick around to tell everyone about it! You have

good reason to be hopeful.

Kerri,

Thanks for the information. If we double the dose of Pro EFA Jr. as

you suggest, are there any side effects that I should look for in my

daughter that would indicate that the dose is too much for her? We

will increase gradually. I also wonder about side effects of Vitamin E.
