N. CA Apraxia Support Group Mtg.--Dr. Guest Speaker--Sept. 6th

[Guest guest]

Nutritional Supplementation and Apraxia

Fish Oil, Vitamin E, a Gluten-Free Diet…can they help?

Exciting news! Dr. of Children's Hospital and Research

Center, Oakland, has agreed to address our group about her findings

in a case study of 186 apraxic children after nutritional

intervention with fish oil and Vitamin E. She published her findings

at The American Academy of Pediatrics Research Society in May 2007

and 2008.(Abstracts, blood work to consider and parking information

will be sent with RSVP).

Saturday, September 6th, 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.

San Leandro Library, Karp Room, 300 Estudillo Street, San Leandro,

California 94577

The results of Dr. 's case studies are compelling! 97% of the

apraxic children involved showed anecdotal improvements in the areas

of speech, imitation, coordination, eye contact, behavior, and/or

sensory issues!

Although no recommendations can be made until these promising

observations are validated through controlled clinical trials, Dr.

has graciously agreed to share her recent discoveries with our

group! She is currently seeking grant funding to complete controlled

studies of apraxia treatment and underlying causes.
