[quote=Anonymous]DD is now 13.  SHe was dx with apraxia and low tone when she was a baby.  She didn't roll over until after her 1st birthday and walked at 15 months.  I can't remember the details (kids tend to suck the memory right our of ya) but she had very few words (maybe 4) at 2 years.   She tested significantly below age level on expressive speech but very high on receptive speech.

She worked with a private SP then added one at the elementary school for 1/2 hour 1x a week as she qualified for special ed services at our elementary school at three years old and until she entered K she no longer qualified as her speech improved to within normal limits.

Now at 13, she is still a very quiet girl - an observer - loves to read.  When we did a psych eval for possible ADHD _ Inattentiveness at the end of 5th grade, she tested at the end of 12th grade for reading.  Her processing speed was still low, though.

Because of her slow processing speed, she misses some of the social parts of school as she is always behind.  Luckily, a lot of social interactions also happen online and at a slower pace - so all is good!

I worried about her for years.  I still worry as life is so fast but she has been able to manage.[/quote]
