question about DAN Dr and Dev Ped. and GFCF Diet

[Guest guest]

My son is 3yrs 3mos, with the Dx of Apraxia. We have known for

about 10 mos. We have no other soft signs or anything. Just the

Verbal and Oral Apraxia. He has been developmentally on target or

ahead with everything else. He is becoming fluent with sign language

and is making continual progress in language.

1. The Dev Ped at Children's Hosp in Denver has declined to see him

multiple times because we have ONLY speech concerns. And will only

see him if a SP has addtional concerns of other soft signs or

delays. So should I still try and get him to be seen? Is it worth

it if we don't have any other concerns developementally?

2. Given, that at this stage we aren't seeing any additional

concerns would it be wise to see a DAN Dr? Given that it is obvious

he doesn't have any form of Autism. Sensory Integration or anything.

I am unsure if we need to be concerned about heavy metals and such.

3. We tried going Dairy free for 2weeks and saw no change, was that

not long enough to see a differnce or is GFCF something that needs to

be done when you see additional things with the Apraxia?

Thanks for any insight.
