Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Try putting in apraxia and your area in your search engine. Also, if you go to Apraxia-Kids, there are links to some more local groups.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 A local mom of a PDD Nos kid started a parent support group. I have attended 2 meetings and have a love/hate relationship with this concept. You have to suppress a lot to try to help your kid and I don't like the idea of visiting my emotions every other week. Also, nobody is sitting there singing kumbaya. Our group is unique though. All are doing diets, some are doing environmental stuff. I can see infighting about to erupt and want no part. In that case emotions are better than tip exchanges. Also, frankly, it scares me silly. There are some pretty messed up kids in that group and my fear is for what is to come if they don't detox well and if their parents blindly trust in docs who may be exploiting them. I've been researching this longer than them and know just enough to be scared but not enough to share an informed opinion. I hate the whole thing...can you tell? > > I'm curious, does anyone belong to or have started a local parent group for parents of kids with apraxia/dyspraxia?
