child in the area of language, eye contact, behavior, focus, and so much
more. This was explored at CHERAB's fact finding apraxia
conference with leading neurological scientists. Explore this
area, and keep watching for results of upcoming clinical research.

Seek private evaluations from an
ASHA certified SLP (Speech Language Pathologist) as well as medical
evaluations from a neurologist and a developmental pediatrician who are knowledgeable
about apraxia as well as other disorders. Bring these evaluations to
your child's school with the guideline at this link which is a guidelines for
how much speech therapy a child should have in school.

Late Talker Website
Dr. Thomas Sowell wrote a book on
late talking children that created a huge amount of attention, as well as some
controversy. I believe it's important to read the following, quoted
from this website. "What should I do about the
late talking? It is very important to rule out any medical
conditions, including hearing loss that may be contributing to the late
talking. Many families have already done this before corresponding
with me, but be sure to do this if you haven't already. It is very
important to have an ACCURATE assessment completed by a skilled clinician.
DO NOT ACCEPT ANY LABEL OR ASSESSMENT RESULTS THAT ARE NOT ACCURATE. You
can contact the American Speech Language-Hearing Association in Rockville,
Maryland for a list of certified clinicians in your area."
