Nick, my son responded so fast to "speech therapy" that his therapist wanted to take a few weeks off to see if waiting longer than a week between appointments makes a difference. They mostly did word memory, alphabetizing, and pattern type puzzles. Goal was to increase time of 'working' without increasing symptoms.

What I have noticed with him is when he is having a better cognitive day, he has more physical and emotional symptoms. It's a very fine balancing act that we haven't mastered yet.

I'm sure you'll see some improvement!
