My son 2 1/2 yrs old diagnosed with apraxia several months ago and have been going to speech thereapist 3 times a week for 30 minutes sessions.

I am still suspection if this is all what is troubled with. He has a very small attention span. Does not respond well to what he is told ( like, stop, go simple things.)
My sons wasy saying his name when he was 16 months old, he was doing great but things changed!!! We were told there is unconfirmed connection between his condition and the scheduled shoths given to children.
This was said by 30 yrs practitioner.
Now there are articles stating there no connections or no side affects from shots.

Since his therapy started ( he also attends a social group 3 times a week for 3 hours every attendance ) we are told he is doing so much better.

Now, he knows the alphabet, counts to 10 ( skipping 3 and 4 even though he knows them ) and say several words.

I do understand that this is a very long process and we are trying to do all we can like any parent would do but I belive there is more to it.

One day when my wife took him to his speech therapy, I asked her to ask the therapist about gluten free diet since I have read what was posted above when he was diagnosed with apraxia, and my wife was told they are taking all things step by step. 1st step is therapy sessions.
Started as 2 times a week and therapist wanted to add 1 more which we are told he is getting better.
Waiting to see what next..

We will be meeting with his specialist at the end of summer for evaluation of over all condition and progress.
