I'll leave someone more experienced to describe apraxia. My short

version description is they have normal to above average

intelligence, can understand you receptively but cannot express.

There are typically some soft neuro signs which I think are described

in the archives and tongue movement is a big issue. I would chase

apraxia first but with someone who knows it. Where do you live? I am

sure someone can refer you to a good doc. Also, have you read the

Late Talker? A must to see what you are dealing with.

Many have found help with fish oil so you should consider

investigating that.

We had a an undetected milk allergy so I actually got my son's tongue

to move by getting rid of dairy.

The gut malabsorbing is another consideration.

These are ideas. I think reading the book and getting to a doc are

step one along with the fish oil investigation. The rest you can do

over time. Breathe...you are doing good things for your child.

As for frustration, consider Signingtime videos so he can sign his

desires in the interim. There is also PICs...I think that is what is

called, which is a picture therapy as you describe.

Go to a pediatric neurologist, get his hearing tested by an audiologist, go to

an ENT to look at his ear structure and to look for fluid. My son didn't talk

either till 4yo. We had him at the pediatrician, early intervention etc at

2yo.... no one detected the fluid until the pediatric ENT. Then he got tubes

and he strated talking. However, at 6yo he still had not caught up in talking,

so we went to a neurologist who finally diagnosed him with apraxia. If I could

do it all over again, I'd go to a neurologist first after the ENT and

audiologist (who were in the same office here). Until then, take pictures,

laminate them and put them on your refrigerator with mangets and let him pick

the ones that apply......good luck and let us know how he's doing....!!! dian

--Hi,

keep in mind that pulling you to what he wants IS communication.

My son never did that so, short of improving my mind reading

skills,it was very frustrating for all involved.

You can google " PECS " for the pictures. There are a ton of free

sites where you can print them off.

My son didn't potty train until he was 5.5 years old. It wasn't that

he couldn't communicate his need, he just was never ready.

I kept the pecs book handy for him. He was great at using it for

other things, just not the potty.(believe me, I tried everything!!).

As for the tongue thing, is now 8 years old and his tongue just

started making an appearance out one side of his mouth.

There are all kinds of things that you can do with food to help him

move it about. doesn't have any allergies so we use his

favorite stinky cheese and put it behind his front teeth and have him

get it off with his tongue. You could use anything from suckers to

peanut butter. An ice cream cone is great for having them lick and I

must say it's a great motivator! The only thing is you have to hold

it for them so they don't get sneaky like my guy and just shove it in.

If he wants it, he has to work for it!

Did all of that, they saw the fluid, did the tubes, he talked and

then stopped again...anesthesia...then we went off milk and ENT

confirmed milk loss would have done it...no need for tubes if the

allergin was not longer putting fluid i nthe wrong place.

We taught my son to sign and it helped tremendously during his nonverbal phase.

Now, he sometimes uses the signs in order to clarify what he's talking about.

My son knew lots of signs, so he was able to communicate with him very

efficiently and effectively. When I enrolled him in speech, the therapist was

very happy that he already knew how to sign; for that's the first thing she

would have taught him. The signing also enabled me to see just how very smart

he was.....and I feel that it really helped his self esteem.

Sandy,

I am the mother of a 27 month old boy. This is a terrific site to have

stumbled upon. I would encourage you to have him evaulated by a Speech

Pathologist for verbal and oral apraxia. In addition to a Speech Pathologist

it is imperative that you have him evaulated by a CHILD Neurologist. You may

also want to consider a Developmental Peditrician ( they may not be covered

by insurance).

Then go to & Nobles or find it on-line, but you need to get the book,

" The Late Talker. " This book will help you out step by step to determine

what is going on with your child. Read this book from cover to cover.

While doing these steps earlier in the summer, I also kept and continue to

keep a journal of my son's words and behaviors. My son had 6 approx words at

24months in August. Now I cant keep up with all of his words. Keep in mind,

every child is different, so dont expect the same conculsions with your

child. What has worked with us is increased Speech Therapy, Occupational

Therapy ( Lots of Motor Planning), Clean Diet and Detox Suppliments and

VItamin Suppliments - Fish Oil, Omegas, Vitamin E...etc.

There are many different ways of working with Apraxia and I believe that it

may sound like verbal and oral apraxia. This is what my son has. If it is

Verbal and or Oral apraxia, your child will need speech therapy and

occupational therapy.

Do these things first and consider vitamin suppliments - Fish Oil - Omega

3,6,9 by Nordic Naturals.

This can be a little overwhelming at first, but you are going to have to be

the strong one here for your child. There are several of us who have been in

your shoes not too long ago. We continue to assist one another and will be

happy to answer all questions.

Honestly, the thing that I have found most important is to complete my due

dilligence with the doctors and then remain openminded and seek guidance

from nutritionists, and Homeopathic DAN! Docs.

Here to Help,

Colleen

Mother of Charlie 27 Months

to compliment what Liz has stated, Apraxia also has to do with Motor

Planning.

Sandy,

Ditto to everything that Colleen just said plus one thing more..... think of

going milk (casien) free for a trial period to see if your child is like so many

of ours. Milk congests many of the kids systems on this board, many but not all

and the only way that you will know for sure if this will help is to eliminate

it completely from your child's life for about 3 weeks and then add it back in

in a huge way for one day and see what happens.

If your child is a casien responder then this can be a HUGE piece of the puzzle

for him....

Hi Janice,

The original poster was with a 3 year old son but thanks anyway:)

My guy is 8 years old and had no response to the elimination of dairy. I

did give it its fair shot but no reaction either way. is a responder

to fish oil and vitamin e though so at least that's something we do in

addition to the therapy.

I think when you do dairy elimination matters. In an older child

properly absorbing efas I am not sure you'd see a difference even if

it were causing an issue.

Sandy & Everyone,

I was reading yesterday on the symptoms of Omega 6 deficiency since I now know

that Mark is 'highly' deficient in omega 6 via testing. One of the symptoms

listed twigged my mind. It indicated that prolonged deficiency causes food

intolerances and digestive issues.

I wonder if that is the reason why some kids are milk responders or fish oil

responders? I have been supplementing faithfully with Omega 3 (with just a

little 6 & 9) with no response but it was the 'wrong' EFA for Mark!!! He

actually needs the Omega 6. Maybe the kids who are not fish oil responders and

who are milk responders are the ones who need more Omega 6 rather than the fish

oil?

I ran out and bought a bottle of borage oil and have seen almost immediate

results in terms of attention, eye-contact, speech and energy levels.

Anyway..... this is just a thought that I wanted to put out there to all of you

to see what you think.

My question would be is why would Mark be deficient in Omega 6? Theoretically

he should be getting enough in his regular diet. Perhaps his body is struggling

to process the good fats. I also have read that a lot of the omega 6 in our

regular diet is lost in the heavy processing of modern food so that could be at

issue. I just don't know anymore!
