[quote=Anonymous]DS is 2.5 and too young for a formal diagnosis, but we have proceeded as if apraxia is the diagnosis. We noticed issues before 18 months, there was absolutely zero speech and no approximations, at all. But we started the eval process at 18 months and everyone agreed that he was significantly delayed. We immediately began ST once a week and then bumped it up to 2x a week. Once we went to 2x a week, we really saw significant improvement. He is still behind, but he is catching up and is now verbal -- probably at the level of a typical 18 month old. We hope he will catch up by K, if not before. There are no other issues that we are aware of. He had significant feeding issues until recently. He's an only child, so no other kids with issues. I'm a SAHM, so I ferry to appointments. We plan to enroll him in regular preschool and continue with ST. [/quote]
