We don’t have an official apraxia diagnosis yet. I didn’t even know what it was until a few weeks ago, but have spent as much times since then researching it, and it seems so many of the symptoms resonate with Isaiah’s speech.

Do you mind me asking another question? I briefly talked to Isaiah’s soon-to-be ST (we’re switching from Early Intervention to school-provided services this fall), and he said that the “hallmark feature” of apraxia is inconsistency. That words come out different each time they say it. Well, Isaiah is *fairly* consistent, although there are some variance (baby alternates between “be-be” and “te-te” for example). But the ST acted like without major inconsistency, then he wouldn’t even consider apraxia a possiblity.

Thanks again for letting me lurk and learn on your blog. I need to update mine with Isaiah’s progress, but once I do, I’d love to hear any feedback or ideas. I feel like we’re stuck in a rut.

I love his curly hair, and I had to laugh at a couple places, because my little guy would totally stop and point out the hamburger seeds, as well as the color purple (his favorite color).

Does he use many (any) 2-word sentences at home? I almost got teary-eyed listening to him say the few during this video, as I know that’s a huge milestone.
