Apraxia of speech

My four year old daughter was recently diagnosed and I'm feeling very overwhelmed with everything I have going on, all the paperwork I'm filling out to get additional therapy sessions and trying to get her into a special needs preschool for this upcoming school year. Does anyone else have a child with apraxia?

She's been in speech therapy once a week since November and it's not really doing a whole lot, but I can tell a slight difference. Unfortunately our insurance still makes us pay $90 per session out of pocket and that's limited sessions per year so we are applying for assistance so she can get more sessions a week at a lower price with no yearly limits.

Thank you ladies for your words! It's all so overwhelming and scary.

My 4 year old does.

He's in speech therapy with his school and he's getting way better with talking clear. Seems like his brother is following his footsteps, it's okay! It will get better, I promise!

Hang in there ladies. I remember therapy 4 times a week, special p-k and k. Long hours spent learning to communicate!

I wish I could say my daughters speech is 100% but it's not. However, it is understandable and has not effected how smart she is. She is a nearly straight a student and already lining up scholarships for college as a Junior in high school.

My four year old son has it. He goes to speech twice a week. It's very slowly working, but the point is uts working. Took us months of paperwork and meetings to get the approval and the iep set up.

She talks, a lot! But a lot of it isn't understandable. It's like a young toddler babbling and learning words honestly. She's not on the spectrum. It's just really scary because I know she's going to have a lot to deal with and she's going to have to work extra hard.

I do! Though she's not much of a child now she's 16!
