doing

and

> Christmas. Is he 100% normal in speech today? No but is anyone

100%

> normal? I mean he has hopes and dreams and feelings like any other

still

> Tanner's still has a much higher receptive ability then expressive -

> he knows so much more then he can express eloquently. That I

> at times he can't. Example of a more recent speech glitch -the

other

> don't use often in our home. I said " think of it as four words -

> " their mom it ter " and then he was able to say it pretty quick.

> Didn't sound 100% right -but close enough.

>

> Just today we tried the new ProEFA Xtra (mixed 2 of them -2 of the

> regular and then 2 ProEPA) so will let you know if we see anything

> different. Off the top it seems to be a wee bit too high in the

> Omega 6 -but it's something I'll play around with -perhaps add 1

> extra EPA? Anyone know/try this new one from Nordic?

> (Oh and Tanner gets 4 of the Alpha Gamma E everyday too)

>

> OK I have a very important question for everyone:

>

> There is a large conference being planned right now for apraxia

> including speakers such as Dr. Marilyn Agin, our own Dr.

> , Kaufman SLP and many others. Lots of cutting edge

info

> When you answer please let me know why you want it in that

particular

the
