Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi Terry: Below there are many links for you to read through. When my son was 2 years old, I didn't have an SLP to diagnose his verbal apraxia. I did get a referral to a Child Neurologist and called to make sure she was familiar with apraxia--didn't want to waste my time. The Child Neurologist diagnosed him, and that helped to get the one-on-one speech therapy and an SLP familiar with treating apraxia through EI. Some people do use Dev. Pediatricians-my son doesn't have one. Hopefully you will hear from those that do have Dev. Peds. Your SLP can diagnose verbal apraxia. http://www.kidspeech.com/index.php?page=56 Apraxia of speech is usually treatable with the appropriate techniques. It is not just a simple articulation disorder nor a " phonological " disorder. Traditional therapy techniques are usually unsuccessful. Speech pathologists should be knowledgeable about oral- verbal motor skills, and adult/acquired apraxia to assist the child best. They should be well-versed in " cueing " and successive approximations. The Kaufman Speech Praxis Treatment Approach for developmental verbal apraxia is a highly effective program with young children. Children must be seen one-on-one, at least in the early stages of treatment, even by age 2. The Kaufman Speech Praxis Test for Children and The Kaufman Speech Praxis Treatment Kits are helpful tools in the evaluation of apraxia, determining treatment goals, and providing effective therapy. http://www.kidspeech.com/index.php?page=41 Info on: Kaufman Speech Praxis Test Last year when my son was 4 years old--he was age appropriate for expressive speech, but the school SLP evaluated him using the Kaufman Speech Praxis test and it was really informative. It did show where the break down in his speech errors are and it really helped with writing goals for this school year. You can ask your SLP to evaluate your child for apraxia. http://www.nodcc.org/files/Apraxia%20-%20The%20Basics%20-%20by% 20Barbara%20C.%20%20MA,%20CCC-SLP.pdf (too long-copy and paste into address line) Very informative APRAXIA THE BASICS BARBARA C.

Evaluation, Assessment and Diagnosis of Childhood Apraxia of Speech The professional who is most qualified to investigate, assess, and provide diagnosis for children's speech disorders is the Speech- language Pathologist. It may be that after speech/language evaluation, the clinician has reason to refer a child to other health- related professionals in the fields of occupational therapy, behavioral and developmental pediatrics, or pediatric neurology. However, a speech-language pathologist should diagnose the communication (speech) disorder. Reportedly, some service settings discourage SLPs from providing diagnoses; though note that per the American Speech-Language Hearing Association, the SLP is qualified to diagnose CAS. N-D specialists (neurologists developmental pediatricians) should work collaboratively with SLPs (speech language pathologists) in determining correct diagnosis and treatment plan http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/voice/apraxia.htm Apraxia of Speech On this page: What is apraxia of speech?

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi Terry! I just wanted to let you know it took a little while for us to see the impact of the PRO EFA on our son too, I am guesstimating a little over a month. He was also more emotional for the first week or so. Ped neurologist vs Developmental Ped - I am probably not the best person to answer this, but it is my understanding a Developmental Pediatrician would be there for your child's wellness visits, but also has an understanding and/or expertise in certain areas of development. I would think switching your child's normal pediatrician to a developmental pediatrician could be a good idea as they will be able to guide you and stay with your child as they get older. Ped Neuro - I think should be contacted if there are concerns about autism, etc. In our case, my son has apraxia and sensory integration dysfunction (sensory seeking). So, we took him to see a Ped Neuro, but basically they ruled out any autistic characteristics and said, see you in 6 months. I hope more people answer your question, I just wanted to respond with what I know because I know when you post a question, how much you hope to get feedback! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I might be wrong here, but I think the developmental pediatrician is who you should see for problems--such as autism, pdd-nos, etc. I would say the pedi. neurologist is if you suspect some sort of brain injury or neurological problem.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 -I wondered the same thing a few months ago and asked other moms opinions on one of my local special kids groups. Here is the reply I got. A pediatric neurologist is a specialist in the nervous system (and disorders of the nervous system) in children. A developmental pediatrician is a physician who addresses special care issues for children with disabilities. I've always thought it would be nice to have a dev ped for helping to oversee and manage all of my daughter's many needs-- many of which require specialists, including a pediatric neurologist. For now, we have a " regular " pediatrician who seems to be ok in that role. But I sometimes wonder if the dev ped would have a different approach. A lot of Dev. Ped don't take insurance- which may be why they could not find them in a plan. Some of them do though. Just ask around. Our neurologist diagnosed my daughters Apraxia and monitors her seizure disorder and hydrocephalus-- all things neurological! Dev Ped is more about the " big " picture --like a typical Pediatrician.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 The same question was asked on another group. This is the response given- it sums it up pretty good! A pediatric neurologist is a specialist in the nervous system (and disorders of the nervous system) in children. A developmental pediatrician is a physician who addresses special care issues for children with disabilities. I've always thought it would be nice to have a dev ped for helping to oversee and manage all of my daughter's many needs-- many of which require specialists, including a pediatric neurologist. For now, we have a " regular " pediatrician who seems to be ok in that role. But I sometimes wonder if the dev ped would have a different approach. The way I interpret it- the Dev. Ped is more about the big picture- like a typical Ped. Neurologists manage my daughters Apraxia, seizure disorder, Hydrocephalus --neurological stuff! They also order the MRI's, EEG'S and testing whenever necessary. A lot of Dev Ped don't take insurance- which is why you don't find too many on an Insurance Plan. Some do- but the good ones that everyone likes don't. Ped Neurologists are usually on a plan and its easier to start there and go to Dev. Ped if it seems needed later.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 We've only had good Pediatric Neurologists experience. It was one that diagnosed my daughters Apraxia. Sorry that yours was not so knowledgeable-but its not right to group them all based on the experience you've had. I guess if Apraxia were the only issue- someone with less credentials might do for supplements- like a dietitian or nutritionist- but we need a medical doctor on our team to prescribe seizure medication. Which is why they could not be bothered dealing with vitamin supplements. Our Ped Neuro also found something very scary on my daughters last MRI which necessitated another visit to the Pediatric Neurosurgeon. I'm pretty sure HE is up to date on what is going on in his field!! He's done all four of her surgeries and is now at just one of the top hospitals in NYC. The only reason we've ever changed neurologists is when they stop taking our insurance and the best one we ever had moved to Boston. If anyone in/near Boston hears of Dr. Wolf- very, very highly recommended. He is the one that diagnosed the true Apraxia four years ago. It was just after we started seeing him that he moved his practice to Boston. He is wonderful with the kids and very, very surely knows his stuff!! I don't think he'd help with vitamin supplements either. > > Jenna, your experience with the neuro ped was actually better than ours believe it or not !!!! I know, hard to believe, but that's how it is, they know nothing, NOTHING about speech in children.  > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Maureen, Hi, If you read my post correctly, I only bad mouthed the pediatric neurologist I went to! That is why I would like to change to a PPO, so I can choose the one to see. The one we visited doesn't believe in apraxia (the type we see here with our kids), so he wouldn't confirm the diagnosis of " apraxia " . I fully believe in neurologists (and definitely Neuro- surgeons!)and from reading here many of you had wonderful experiences with them with your apraxic kids. I know we will have to follow up with one in 6 months. I also asked him about a 24 hour EEG and he blew me off. HE is the one who said my son has a brain malformation (most likely microscopic), so how can you deny the possibility the malformation may cause " quiet " seizure activity or seizures in his sleep? The only way to rule it out would be to do a 24 hr EEG. I wasn't expecting him to help me with vitamin supplements, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask about the fish oils and his medical opinion of SPEAK (since a MD is the one who helped formulate it). Unfortunately my son just doesn't have apraxia either. What age was your daughter when you first did an MRI? Was she under general anesthesia? Maybe I should push for that too (since he did recommend one, but when he was older). If anyone can recommend a great neurologist in Southern California I would love to get their info!!

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Thank you to all of you!! So much information to process. We have an appointment in April of 2009 for a Ped Neuro that is 3 hours away. That was the soonest we could get in. If anyone has seen Dr. Carl Stafstrom of the department of neurology in Madison let me know what to expect. Should I stop the fish oil before we go to the appt.? I was reading the posts by Penny and her son Brady and wondering if I should. I don't know if I can handle going back to screams all the time instead of just part of the time. There is a local ped neuro but as soon as I said his name my SLP gave me the look of disappointment and said I wouldn't go to him if it were my child. Then I called my sons case worker and she said that other parents have said he has a bad bedside manner but, knows what he is talking about. So I will drive to Madison and not risk the chance of being an angry mom when I leave the Dr. office. Although that may still happen, I just like to hope not. Also what questions should I ask? I have so much information and questions in my head that I don't even know where to start. And the bonus is that I have 6 months to think about it everyday. Yeah!! We are looking in to a Devlopmental Ped, but currently they are all out- of-network for our ins. plan. But we switch plans on Jan 1st and under the new plan there are 2 that are covered in our area. So who knows? I might look into making an appt with one of them. The new ins. co. lists them under Pediatric Behavioral Development; hope this is the same thing. Their names are Dr. Cupoli and Dr. Keck, if anyone has dealt with them any information is great! Jenna, thanks for telling me your experience. I am so sorry to hear that you had to go through a Dr. not listening to your needs and wants. That is starting to be a normal thing anymore and should be stopped. I am glad that you found a Dr. that did just the opposite of the Ped Neuro. Tina, I did try to call and see if Dr. Stafstrom had any CAS experience and the receptionist told me that I need to make sure I am going to see the right Dr.. That maybe I should be looking into the Waisman Center in Madison. I am not sure on what they do there but, it looked like mostly developmental delay stuff. She said she was in no way telling me what to do but that to rule out a developmental delay that is where I should go. I basically felt like she was telling me I was wasting there time and to start at the Center and then maybe end up at the neuro office. But she wasn't giving me medical advice. In the end I still have an appt. in April and I am going to ask my Ped. to look into the Dr.. As far as my SLP diagnosing apraxia, she all ready has. We are just looking for some back up, when my son turns 3 in June, EI will no longer cover one-on-one therapy and I want to be able to keep it and have it covered under insurance. As they have all ready denied coverage and we are appealing, the 1st SLP didn't do her job right. As my current SLP says " he has apraxia up the wazoo " and will need more than what they will give him at the School. Thank you for all the links. I haven't gone through them all but they are great, so far. Also Gavins's behavior was slightly better this weekend. But speech therapy on Thursday was horrible once he decided not to participate in the talking and playing with Play-doh at the same time. He is very smart and knows when we are trying to do speech therapy on him. He will even do this throughout the week when I try to get him to say something properly. I did notice this weekend though that while playing by himself he was talking more during the play then he normally would. My husband likes to play the devils advocate and questions if it is the fish oil, but I believe that it is helping and hopefully the behavior will level out soon. He only screams because he is not being understood or big brother takes his toy away. He did start saying No, No, No to big brother this weekend and seems to be finding a little voice. Sorry this is so long.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Just to make this clear- I was not bad mouthing Jenna's experience at all- but one of the responses she got that bad mouthed all Ped Neuro's in one poor group. My daughter has Hyrdrocepalus so her MRI's and numerous CT scans were done with that diagnosis in mind and monitoring her there.She never had one specifically related to her speech delays. Can't help plead that case. They were all done with Chloral Hydrate as a baby. No mention of GA until last April when it was a 3hr MRI. I think she developed a bit of a resistance to the Chloral Hydrate- it would take her much longer to go out as she got older. All I ended up with was a very, floppy toddler who still had to be put through the testing no matter her condition. - In , " Jenna " <imcaligal@...> wrote: > > Maureen, > Hi, If you read my post correctly, I only bad mouthed the pediatric neurologist I went to! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
