Re: EFA and Hyperactivity/Agitation--RECORDING

[Guest guest]

Hi Christy--

My son just turned 3 on 12/24, and has verbal apraxia. I also just

started giving him Coromega (1/2 packet a day, usually in the evening

on a cut-up popsicle) about 3 or 4 weeks ago. He has shown improvement

also, mostly in readily imitating sounds and word approximations, but

it may be due to his increased speech therapy. When I first started

giving it to him, (even in the afternoon), I thought he also seemed

more energetic, and some other minor changes I noticed.

I would very much like to hear your recording, please email it to

socalcin@....

I am also interested in hearing how often your son goes to preschool

and what factors are making it great, how big the class is, how long,

etc., what you've noticed. Does he attend w/o you? I will be

observing a preschool placement, special ed, next week, and am pretty

nervous about having my son attend w/o me, even though I think there

will be a lot of benefits. I'm hoping I like what I see enough to

enroll him. It is taught by an SLP, other kids have motor planning

issues that impact speech. Sounds good. It is 3 hours a week.

By the way, I just wanted to second your comment about how great this

online community is...what a great resource for us all!

Thanks,

Hmmm...I listed another email address to you to send it to, but that

didn't seem to show up/work. So, if you would please, sending it to

the email address that is displayed would be appreciated.

Thanks!
