Guest guest Posted September 15, 2000 Report Share Posted September 15, 2000 Technically speaking, the poll is correct, steroids (like prednisone) DO halt the progression of PA. The trouble is that the side effects do us in before we can profit from the treatment! Water retention, weight gain, irritability, psychosis, osteoporosis - not a pretty picture. Doctors don't prescribe prednisone to halt the disease, but to interrupt a flare. The answer was true in theory, but false in practice. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 My son is in a special school and has been since he was 3yrs (though this is a new school, since he was 5). He's quite popular (mainly because he's the youngest and is cute) and has no problem with play that is not language based. If it is language based he can't join in very well. He's very self contained and happy to play on his own but does love to play with others when possible. However, I would say that Yes, in 'normal' situations he has problems making friends. However, if a child understands that he can't talk he's fine. We have moved villages and here there are two boys the same age as mine. Their mum explained about the deafness and Rory not talking. Well, they got on well playing with Lego, the trampoline, feeding chickens etc. later the little boy said " mummy that boy can talk... he's talking Danish! " . Apparently ,they had recently been on holiday to Denmark and played with other children and of course didn't share a language. Sometimes we forget that children can play without understanding each other and there can be 'normal' reasons for not understanding each other. michelle UK Mummy to 8 deaf and Rory 6 deaf and apraxic We should do a survey here. Do you have a child that is accepted by peers and has no trouble making friends? Yes Most times Rarely No Even though your child was in special needs preschool placement, he or she has been mainstreamed since kindergarten. Yes No Other (please explain) Yes Other (please explain) We are homeschoolers. My child with apraxia and dysarthria is my fourth so he has built in playmates who are a brother 9 3/4, sister 8 1/2, and sister 6 1/2 years old. None of my children have ever been in any institutional setting. My youngest has OT therapy followed by ST twice a week for 30 minutes a session. His siblings come with us and they learn how to do therapy at home with their brother. My child makes friends easily (library or park) even though other children do not understand him. He has been socialized to see everyone as a playmate so he has no self esteem or negative socialization issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
