Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Has anyone on the board taken their child to see Kaufman in Wisconsin(I think that is where she is). I have read that she does intensive work with kids who have apraxia for 1-4 weeks. I know of her apraxia cards, but not much else. Our son has made great gains in speech in the past year, from not even being able to imitate a sound to being able to approximate words. We still have a long way to go as far as getting the words to really sound like what he means, and also getting him to spontaneously use words. I guess that is the biggest challenge. He prefers to melt down instead of using a word, or even a sign for that matter. If anyone has used or has any ideas on getting spontaneous speech I would love to hear about it. Thanks, beth in Atlanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
