Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hi there! This is just a curiousity question. has been a toe walker for as long as I can remember (probably since she started walking). Our Developmental Pediatrician noticed it and commented that it was somehow related to the apraxia (for reference, check out the brief mention of it on " Ed Chapman's Speech and Developmental Delays Page " at http://edchapman.tripod.com/Toe.html <http://edchapman.tripod.com/Toe.html> ). It only occurs when is not wearing shoes. Our SEIT commented on it yesterday again and it made me curious as to how common apraxia and toe walking might be. That being said, are any of your apraxic children also " toe walkers " ? Also, for those of you with older kids, did the toe walking persist, or did it eventually fade away? All comments and discussion are welcomed! Thank you:-) Warm regards, ****************** (Rochester, NY) Mom to , 3.2 years, Verbal Apraxia & , 1 year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icare Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 My 2 1/2 yr. old grandson has verbal apraxia and also toe walks. He has recently begun speech therapy, and needs braces to correct the toe walking but has not yet had them put on. It seems the words that he was speaking were 'taken' from him after vaccines. It breaks my heart. My daughter and son-in-law have a wonderful attitude, but are still having their second child (9 months) vaccinated. The more I read about vaccinations, the more concerned I become. Do you have any thoughts on this? PS He also sits in the 'W' position.
