[quote=Anonymous]My experiences and advice is similar to the PPs. My DS, now 11, srarted in EI for gross motor delay at 15 months, started ST at 24 mos. and diagnosed at 3 with apraxia and MERLD.  His speech was mostly unintelligible to non-familiars. He made better progress with a PROMPT SLP. But progress was very slow and hard won. He till goes every other week to a group speech session to continue to work on spontaneous/pragmatic language.  His articulation is good but his speech still breaks down with longer, more complex, spontaneous communication.

If your DS does have apraxia, I wouldn't expect it to be 'resolved' by K. Articulation may no longer be an issue but apraxia is so much more than that. As a PP said, it's very common to have reading/comprehension challenges. If you're not already, look into getting into your district's special ed preschool. You're DC will get an IEP that will follow him into K. There is no reason apraxia should delay his entry into K. You want him in a supported language based preschool.[/quote]
