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?
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.
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.
