Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi everyone, I can't remember if I've introduced myself or not. I've spent countless hours reading thru your posts, as well as those on the dispraxia/apraxia group. I'm just slightly overwhelmed. ANy help from any of you would be greatly appreciated. Here's our scoop: *Blake is 6 and mildly dyspraxic (had speech for articulation, but was an early fluent talker.) ALso low tone. *Owen is 2 3/4 (does that make sense? 32.5 months old) and is also low tone, and we believe globally dyspraxic...and for sure we believe verbally apraxic (although his speech path still isn't sure if it's that or auditory processing?) Here's what we're doing for Owen: *Speech 2 x per week, although Regional Center just approved for a 3rd hour *PT 2 x per week *OT 1 x per week *ABA anywhere from 4-6 hours per week (even though he's not on the spectrum. Regional Center convinced me it could still help. ????) *Nordic Naturals Omega 3-6-9 - 1 tsp every day of this oil. *GF/CF/Soy-free diet Questions: *Like I said, my mind is spinning trying to understand all the bio- med interventions...where to start...what to do next. I'm not sure I like this DAN doctor we saw last spring. But I don't know what to do next. She's the main name you see here in O.C. (California) dealing with this stuff. It seems too overwhelming to manage on my own. *The DAN doctor recommended the next step to be MB-12 shots. Any thoughts? *Also, she wanted my son on CLO, not the Omega 3-6-9...so I did do the CLO but after a couple months of that switched to the Omega 3-6-9 oil (liquid) and he's been on that for about 8 months. Not being on the CLO means he isn't getting the Vitamin A found in it, other than what he gets in his diet and multi. Please help....any thoughts/feedback would be greatly appreciated. Owen is making slow and steady progress but isn't closing any of the gaps documented in his evaluations over the past 1 1/2 years. But, then again, one of his specialists says that that standardized testing on dyspraxic kids isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 You can't go to a doc you don't trust. Find one you do. I am still learning about the whole MB12 so maybe someone can help you who knows more. I know it is an attenpt to sort of take over the body's detox process that is interrupted because the colon can't process MB12 as it should and allow the body to do this on its own. I want to know if and why that is happening in my kid before trying that though. I am investigating how to do that, if it can be done, right now. There are tests that can be done to see if CLO is warranted. Do them. I gave CLO to the wrong kid and think I accidentally impaired his vision. To further address diet: Feast without Yeast To understand what to ask at the DAN: The 4 As book by Dr. Bock To understand system function: Changing the course of autism There are a list of mainstream labs on this site that will tell you a lot. Find a doc to do them. Whether your doc is a DAN or not, ask questions. Research so you know what you are asking and can do so in a timely fashion but ask them. You can not blindly address the puzzle of your child or all the pieces will not fit. This can br done safely and smart but you are the first line of defense for that to happen. > > Hi everyone, > I can't remember if I've introduced myself or not.
