I have only talked to Mary, but we saw her husband.  I think Apraxia is very over diagnosed and one of those catch alls.  I would increase the private and stay at the private day care, if possible.  Bump up private to twice a week.  You could also look at U of MD LEAP or the U of MD clinic which is much more affordable if you do not have insurance coverage.

You can also try it, see if it helps and if not pull out.[/quote]

There are specific, public programs for kids with speech delays, and obviously a "speech class" would be geared for a child with speech delays.

OP, early intervention routinely labels speech delays as "apraxia."  At this point, it's not very relevant.  If your kid is continuing to make progress and is happy in the current preschool/day care, keep the private speech as it is.  Only increase it if it's necessary.

You can always re-visit the issue of an IEP at any point down the road if necessary.  [/quote]
