Thanks for sharing your story about Callie and congrats to her for all

of her hard work. It certainly sounds like it is paying off! You

talked about the great services that you received. Where do you

live? We just finished the IEP for our daughter (who turns 3 next

week) and I was only able to get 1 hour of speech therapy one day a

week, but I did get them to agree to re-evaluate her after 6 months,

rather than a year. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly

appreciated.

Thanks, Suzanne (mommydowd - remove spaces)

HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all

I don't post very often anymore. My daughter Callie

turns 5 in a few weeks ( WOW..where has the time

gone?? )

Callie was dx'd with mod - severe apraxia, sensory

integration disorder and hypotonia at 26 months. At

that time, her speech therapy was stepped up from 2 to

3 times a week & shortly after ( after submitting Dr.

Agin's report to EI ) to 5 x wk. She also rcvd OT 2 x

wk & later PT 2 x wk. At the age of 26 months, she 100

% unintelligible ( except mama & maw for more )

Okay, that's her history. Now, Callie today is a

virtual chatterbox & 90 % of what she chats about

anybody would understand. She has been in a spec. ed

class for the past 1 1/2 yrs, receiving speech / OT

there & then speech 2 x wk @ home. I met with her

teachers & therapists on Monday, for her yearly

review. I am proud & elated to say they are

recommending that Callie enter into the mainstream

kindergarten class in Sept, with some speech support

of course. This has been the goal all along.

She has worked so hard to get to where she is, as have

those family, therapists & friends who have been

nothing less than amazing. She still has a few areas

that need work. She has yet to achieve the / k / g /

cl & some / s blends / but overall, it brings tears of

joy to my eyes to realize where she was & where she is

now. I have the bravest of little girls, not to

mention beautiful of course.

I wanted to post this because when I suspected

Callie's apraxia & in the early days when we were

filled with questions & wonder, not to mention grave

concern for her future, I found such solace on this

board, incredible amounts of information & support. I

wanted to thank everybody for everything & most

importantly, give hope to those nee to this list.

In The Late Talker, one of the areas stresses was the

amount of speech therapy - Callie can attest to that

being true. In my heart, I believe that has been he

true key to her success, there is never enough & I've

been lucky enough to live in a county that support

children like Callie to the point of almost excess.

Thank You for the encouragement & HANG IN THERE - OUT

KIDS DO HAVE A FUTURE & IT'S A BRIGHT ONE!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you -

I live in Westchester, it's north of New York City.

Again, I think many factors played into getting services for Callie -

def. where we live ( they are very generous ) reports written by Dr.

Agin, who is amazing & I was lucky enough to get Callie in to see her.

I wound up not needing to do this, but I did go into our first

meeting, after having her " formal " dx with hand outs of 8 or 10

different articles written that stressed the importance of frequent &

consistent services.

I also asked for her to be placed in a 1/2 day program ( over & above

her direct services ) she was & it was wonderful for modeling, social

interaction etc... I work & was able to get her busing as well.

One thing I can say is, based on everything i've read, it would be

better for your daughter to have 2 x 30 than 1 x 6 speech -

does she get ot as well?

good luck

Congratulations to you and Callie! My son has also improved dramatically

and we are awaiting a decision about Kindergarten in early Spring though,

I'm not against a developmental Kindergarten...He's about 80% intelligible

and is getting better and better everyday...It trully is a miracle as he

didn't utter a word until 3.5 yrs old...He was diagnosed with severe oral

and verbal Apraxia, Sensory Disorder and Hyptonia. I too agree that

frequent Speech Therapy, supplements and plain old positive thinking has

helped him come this far. It also helps that he is an exceptionally happy

child and loves people! He looks forward to going to therapy! He loves

going to school!

Thanks. Yes, she has been on fish oil since she was about 2 1/2. I

never saw what people have described as a speech surge / explosion

but I believe it couldn't hurt & anything that could potentially

help i'm all for it.
