[quote=Anonymous]Sorry I don't have an answer to the insurance coverage question. Just want to share what helped our son's speech. After he turned 2, we wasted over a year on the county services, ChildFind, etc. with almost no progress. Then we found a speech specialist at a preschool in Falls Church, and for $30/hr she did oral motor exercises with him. His speech dramatically improved in less than 3 months. Turned out, our son just had weak oral muscles that needed a "workout". Now he is almost 9 years old, he is doing great at school, both academically and socially, and actually is in the AAP program. The exercises/games basically work various muscles of tongue, cheeks, and lips, and parents can do it with the child at home. The key is to do it every day to strengthen the muscles.[/quote]
