[QUOTE="Jamieh, post: 592291, member: 15718"] Z is pretty neurotypical in all other areas. He just doesn't talk. He is able to control his emotions and has no problems at preschool. His teacher says he is one of the best behaved kids in his class and always listens. When he was evaluated for the preschool speech and social skills were his only deficits. And the only reason that social skills was added was because he isn't able to communicate to talk to other kids or his teacher. I really don't think he has any other issues other than the apraxia. His therapist has tried *everything* with him. I honestly feel like he is just being stubborn. He is very had to get to warm up to people. When we lived in NC he had a ST and it took him about 8 months to actually start participating with her in play therapy. And we moved shortly after. That was the hardest part of the move. I felt awful because he had just started to make progress. His current ST is trying to do some PROMPT therapy with him. And it helps when he allows her to touch his face. I honestly think thats why he picked up 'NO' because she's been prompting him for that. She has tried play based therapy and flash cards. but as soon as she gets out the flash cards he shuts down. She has bribed him with- candy....this poor lady. I always feel just terrible because he just refuses to do the work. And he gets so frustrated when we can't understand him. But I really do think that his issues are just the motor planning thing. He actually just recently started being able to smile when we told him to. before he always had such a serious face in pics. lol [/QUOTE]
