Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 We started Madelyn (26 months) on one Omega 369 3 days ago. I haven't really noticed much of a difference yet, but her SLP noticed her making more attempts to repeat words this morning, she made the " p " sound for the first time and and even came close to a fishface. Hmmm, maybe there has been a difference after all. I haven't mentioned anything to her SLP about the oils. What should I be looking for? Madelyn was largely silent before speech therapy began in May and is now a jargoning chatterbox, although has maybe 3 understandable words. Also, in line with the question about when to stop the supplementation in preparation for an evaluation, how does that work? If the SLP is documenting progress made, and the ability of the child, aren't there going to be discrepancies during the evaluation once the child is taken off? For example, our therapist needs to complete a progress report in 2 months for our transition meeting out of E.I. and into CPSE. Wouldn't she be checking off things that Madelyn can do, but wouldn't be able to do once off the fish oils? If she gets that surge we're hoping for, perhaps E.I. would decrease the 5x per week to 3x per week. Or, if it goes on to help with attention span and focus, wouldn't her special instructor note the gains, and perhaps not recommend therapy, even though she needs it. Or do the kids still show the same signs of apraxia and other issues just to a lesser extent? Do they regress back to before they had supplementation, or have a loss of some skills? I hope those questions make sense. We also have an appointment with a new neuro in the end of October, and I need to plan for that initial visit.
