[quote=Anonymous]I have a six year old with similar issues. It makes me sad and astonished to hear such a child labeled "stubborn." A child with muscle tone issues cannot produce speech on command. Turning this into an issue of his being willfull is just so, so wrong. This therapist is really shockingly bad and off-base. It's as if she's saying that Christopher Reeve was stubborn for not walking on command. Does she have any idea how hard these kids work in their therapy to produce sounds and movements? If she is willing to label a kid stubborn for not producing speech on her command, I think she should not work with children, or really with anyone. Anyway, in answer to your question about groups for your child, I recommend lots of swimming (loosens tight muscles, tightens up low tone -- really just great exercise for these kids). A warm water pool is best. Are you doing private PT?[/quote]
