Now, I just have to comment on how much I love your ‘nickname’ for her… Little Miss Throwsafit… I have one of those too!!!!!

I remember the days when Wil’s therapists came into the home and the whole crew got involved. Way fun…and wild.

On an unrelted topic, I have a question about her apraxia. How did you know she had it other than the fact she wasn’t talking? Were there any sounds she did or didn’t make that helped clue you and the doctors/therapists in? I first heard about apraxia last year at the Ds convention because apparently they are discovering more and more children with Ds also have apraxia, but I dismissed it then. She is a very active little girl and has great gross and fine motor skills and we just thought that since she tends to concentrate on these areas her speech is put on the back burner. I’m still not too concerned about it, but I’m wondering if there are any signs I can watch for or things I can do to try to see if she has problems with it. School starts next week and I will certainly be speaking to her teacher and therapists about it, but I’d love to hear from someone who is dealing with it.

Thanks.
