[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 children with apraxia. My oldest is 16 and 2 grades behind because I listened to family and was in fear for his safety due to his inability to speak. I did take him to Melmed Institute and PHX Children's to be diagnosed at 3 but my Mother said we should home school him to keep him from becoming a victim. She herself was a teacher so I listened and came to regret her advise. I waited 7 years to have our second child; another boy he will be 10 in July. I did everything opposite and started him in a developmental preschool at 3. He was on an IEP in school until last year and next week he is testing for the gifted program. He still can get "lazy" in his speech but "WOW". My 3rd child is 6, she is in 1st grade and like Alexander she was placed in developmental preschool in PreK. She is like my oldest and struggles a bit more but this year she really is blossoming and I have no doubts she can be just as successful as Alex earlier. William though a bit older than his peers and doing awesome, has his first job learning to drive and taking classes to graduate "early" or enter into the fire program early. For all parents who have nightmares and are in fear for their children, keep loving them and use every resource out there, don't let fear dictate your decisions. Remember they will be okay! P.S. Omega 3 and calm child really helped through the non verbal days. [/quote]
