Thank you so much for the helpful response. If you don't mind, I'm new to the world of apraxia and have a few questions. How does your dyspraxia differ from the verbal apraxia that I believe my daughter has? Has your insurance covered the therapy sessions with Kirsten? And, finally, how much do the sessions cost? Thank you so much. I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed by -- and a bit emotional about -- the possibility that my daughter has this disorder and your email definitely provided some needed sense of direction.

We're hoping to find a speech therapist/pathologist who has strong experience treating childhood apraxia (verbal). We live in Bethesda, but for an outstanding apraxia therapist we'd be willing to drive, if needed. If you happen to know of a developmental pediatrician/neurologist with experience diagnosing apraxia, that'd be helpful too.
