ST concerns

[Guest guest]

My son dx'd apraxia has had a total of 4 ST sessions. I know it may be too

soon, but I am kinda worried. I know apraxia isn't a typical speech delay

and it takes special things to get those kids talking. My son has been

doing great with trying to talk. His vocabulary has grown. A lot of words

are said wrong (or partially) but I know what he means. Strangers probably

wouldn't know the word he said. Anyway. One of his words is Mo- which is

NO. Then he will say Ine for MINE. The ST said it's funny (in the way of

thats strange) that he can say the /n/ in mine but not the N in NO...and

that he drops the M in Mine. To Me though, from what I read this is typical

of apraxia. Which makes me afraid that this ST doesn't know what she is

doing. This is through EI, he is receiving ST 3x's a week and this is the

person EI recommended for apraxia. We talked about apraxia and she said its

a lot of work. She doesn't really do any cueing with my son which seems to

help him, forget about prompt. She said for his age (27 mos) we won't see

much until he is more like 3+.

What do you think?

Thanks!
