??Social Anxiety Disorder???

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I took Callie yesterday to see Dr. Agin - for her

re-evaluation, it's been approx 16 months since we saw

her for the first time & she was dx'd w/ severe

apraxia.

I am proud to say that she was very pleased with

Callie's speech progress. With that said, she told me

that she feels Callie has social anxiety disorder -

not all together uncommon in children w/ apraxia.

So, of course I am back to those who have been there.

Has anyone had this with their child? What did you do

as far as treatment? What has been the outcome & in

what amount of time?

Dr. Agin told me to pretty much back off on prompting

her ( speech ) let her make errors and take some of

pressure off..Callie is 4 yrs old.

Any words of advise & wisdom would help a lot. Just

when things are beginning to look brighter,s he's been

doing so, so well..now this !!!!

Thanks
