[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They’re doing her a disservice if she has no signs and no PECS. Where is she age wise with receptive language? [/quote]

Wholeheartedly AGREE. my brother and his wife are in denial. We are trying reallllly hard to help them understand she needs early intervention and intensive speech therapy. Right now she only has speech once a week for 30 mins.

She’s about 9 -12 months delayed in receptive language from what my mom remembers but seems to be doing a bit better. She’s responding to yes/no questions and sometimes can guide my mom to what she wants.  My mom is trying to teach her signs and sees her 3-4 times a week.  [/quote]

I am surprised that someone seeing a 2 year old for 30 minutes a week would make a definite diagnosis of CAS, especially in a kid with receptive delays. Is it possible you don’t have the whole story?[/quote]

I had the same thought. My kid's SLP would not diagnose him that young. Also the fact that this child has receptive delays too makes me suspect there is something else going on either in addition to apraxia or it's a different condition entirely. [/quote]
