I was just doing a Google search on the Nuffield Dyspraxia Programme and it led me to an old thread on here (2003) where you talked about your son with verbal dyspraxia. I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions, if you can cast your mind back that far?
My three year old has ASD with verbal dyspraxia. So far his SALT has been pretty useless, to be blunt. We had a Family Service meeting today where we were pushing for more SALT for him, as he is just starting to get the hang of using language to communicate. The Nuffield Dyspraxia Symbols were mentioned as a possible tool to help the clarity of his speech.
I'm pretty new on here so don't know how your son has been doing, but would be very grateful for any useful pointers you've picked up over the last three years. How is your son doing now? What did you find helped the most? Did you ever manage to get him more speech therapy (and if so, HOW??!!) Apologies if all this has been covered hundreds of times in more recent threads and really hope you don't mind me approaching you directly like this.
