Not sure how to link from my iPad. It is on Apraxia Nj site. April 30th at 5:30 off of Stelton Road.
Okay, I must be dense, because I googled all sorts of combinations of apraxia, new jersey, and april 30th, and came up with nothing. Can you tell me what the apraxia nj site is? If it's Stelton Road in Edison, that's so close, I'd probably attend.
I just saw this board and I think this is a great idea!
I'm deaf so if anyone wants to ask me questions or if there's anything I can help in that area, feel free to ask!
I don't know if I will fit in here though, but my H and I are profoundly deaf and our son is hearing (3.5 months old). We are being referred for a possible early intervention with his speech/language development. But we don't know if we will qualify or if it will be needed.
Hi! My daughter just turned 2 and is profoundly deaf (and currently unaided). My husband and I are learning ASL and teaching it to her. Maybe I could pick your brain every now and again?
My son has had PT for torticollis, and is currently in speech therapy. He was originally in for language, but he goes back and forth depending on when we see progress. He currently gets it for articulation, but not a ton of progress because of the amount of errors that are typical. We talked about dismissing him for the next 6 months, but decided we'd see where he is in 6 months but keep him in for the 2x a months for now.
I'm a speech therapist myself, but on LOA from the school system. I have a specialty in AUgmentative and Alternative Communication and apraxia, but there isn't many pediatric populations that I haven't worked with at this point.

One of my three uses an AAC, iPad with proloquo2go at school. He did for 2 years and they stopped it. He was lost on the bus going from school to home and they agreed to,try something again. Several months later we're doing proloquo2go.

I love AAC, but it can be soooooo difficult to get it implemented correctly. My favorite but most frustrating! The ipad has helped significantly to make it more affordable and available-do you use it at home?
Not yet. We are waiting for the district to let us. Took two years of asking before they agreed. They are trailing a program now before sending him home with it.

Of course! I also used to work as a deaf mentor for the county. I taught hearing families how to communicate with their deaf child(ren) and I also introduced them to deaf culture. I would go to their houses 1-2x a week. I stopped doing that when I got pregnant.
I don't wear hearing aids either. But my H has one.
If you'd like to let me know where you are, I can see if I'm familiar with the area and can direct you to some resources.
Glad to see you guys have a way to communicate with your daughter I'm actually an ASL teacher too.
Wow! You've done some great work! We don't have a deaf mentor, but we have a parent advocate (through ECI) that we love. She did her masters at Gallaudet and has been a godsend for our family. We also take ASL classes online through a TX state program called Family Signs. We also joined TX Hands and Voices. We're pretty good at accessing any programs we can find. Just to brag a bit, Miss A has around 175 - 200 signs and is using 3 sign phrases. She is a smart little lady! She is very outgoing and confident - lots of sass too. I guess our biggest challenge is becoming more involved in the deaf community. My ASL is at a toddler level, lol. And I'm just soooo slow. But I'm persistent!
De-lurking. My 6 yr old son has apraxia. We are awaiting test results from the ADHD clinic. He is undergoing another round of testing with the school psychologist. he just sent home some paperwork regarding aspergers. The school is recommending he repeat kindergarten. He currently has a 70/30 split between the regular classroom and the special needs classroom. He also attends speech and ot both in school and privately. We have an appointment with a new developmental pediatrician in two weeks. Does anyone have any experience with grade repetition? The school is letting us make the final decision. I'm terrified of making the wrong choice.
He has Aspergers, ADHD (dx at 6 1/2) and GAD (finally dx at 18). He's a remediated dyslexic (dx at 7 1/2) as well.
He will graduate from the local community college, with honors next month and will continue onto university in the fall. Now if we can work out a summer job and drivers license life will be grand.
