My twenty-six-month-old son Benjamin went to speech therapy today for the second time. First, let me say, that I am so glad that we got into the therapist so quickly after his evaluation. I had heard that it could take months to get in because of the demand, but it only took about three weeks to get a weekly appointment time set up.

So we were at the appointment, and I'm not sure if I didn't hear her last week, but the therapist thinks Ben has Apraxia.

From what I've been reading on the internet, the prognosis looks good, but only after a lot of intervention. I am already full of questions that I want to ask at next week's session, but I'm torn because I don't want to take time away from Ben's therapy to have the therapist answer my questions. I guess I am in for a lot of internet time this week so that I can be armed with as much information as possible. But I still think I'll have a ton of questions...

•  Do we need to get him involved in an early childhood intervention program?  And if so, how do we do that and where would we go?
• Is speech therapy once a week enough?
• Is this something that could be "cured," or will he have to struggle all of his life.
• What steps should we take next?
