May
7,
2001 Speaker:
Justine Joan Sheppard, Ph.D., CCC-SLP "We
will discuss the basic problems in apraxia that may interfere with a child's
learning and performance for speech, eating and controlling saliva. As
we identify the basic problems, we can select therapeutic parenting strategies
to support the child's efforts to advance." Cherab
Foundation's
EFA Feedback Research Cherab
Apraxia Survey For Magazine Article Our January
8th meeting was of interest to anyone who has a child with neurologically
based disorders like apraxia, and was interested in apraxia research.
We had an incredible speaker for this subject, Dr. Patricia Kane, who is one
of the world's authorities on EFA supplementation. We would like to
thank the Children's Specialized Hospital for taping this brilliant
presentation, where she covered some of the information on mercury
in fish, before it was released by the FDA and 20/20. We would
like to also thank the developmental pediatricians, Dr. Marilyn Agin
and Dr. Carfaxo, who were there to answer questions.
More
information coming soon on research projects. If you are not able to
attend our meetings, but are interested in working with us in various
research projects as a parent, professional, or hospital, please email
