Regular Therapy

It's been about 6 weeks since my last post!  Now that Nate is back in school, the days are going by quickly.  Since about mid-September, Nate has been receiving 6 speech sessions a week.  Twice a week in our local school district, twice a week at his school, and twice a week at the Truesdale Center (part of the University of Redlands' speech pathologist training program).  In total about 4-5 hours of therapy a week.  This is what we've been working hard to get, regular, consistent therapy.  I'm just not sure if having it with 3 different people is the right thing.  I'm working on trying to keep the 3 SLPs "coordinated", but they all seem to be doing slightly different things.  Good or bad?...I'm not sure.  So how is his speech now?  Not much different so far.  He is repeating some words a little more easily and will repeat them one or two more times after we've stopped saying them.  Just today after I prompted him to say "want Al" (his favorite Alligator) and we repeated it several times together, he said it on his own.  Some progress!  But it's still pretty intelligible.  One of the supervising SLPs at the University of Redlands said that with Apraxic kids, progress can be slow, so we're just taking one day at a time.
