Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 is 2 years & 5 months old. He says " gooooooooooooooooooo " " cookie " (Well it sounds like it), and " Uh uh " for uhoh, & " dadadadadadada " . He says these only when you ask him to do so. At 12 months he was saying, mama, nana, dada, baba, alone those lines and stopped. He gets special education 2 times a week, and speech therapy once a week. Is once enough? (He hasn't been officially with Apraxia yet, but they have been saying it for months.) Is it normal for children with Apraxia to not listen? Or act like they don't hear you? this happens 24/7. I can't control him, I really feel like I can't. Everyone says you are the mother, he is the child. I KNOW THIS, but no-one can see how he is! It's craziness! I've tried timeout with a timer, so that when it dings, he knows it's over. I have tried tapping his butt, his cheak, his hand. Yelling, HA! Why yell? He acts deaf! NOTHING works! It seems like my only oprion is to hold him down! I don't want to result to that. He goes to bed at 2am and gets up between 7-8:30. That's with NO naps during the day, and playing out side, trying to get him tired. He wakes up 2-3 times a night. We co-sleep. If he was in his own bed, he wakes up every hour. I am at a loss at what to do. He is in early Intervention, until december of this year. (He will be 3 October) Then he will be transistioned over to the school system/district. Will things get harder there? Will he not be able to get his therapy? (He is on Medicaid) I feel like I am going crazy. Literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
