[QUOTE="buddy, post: 572977, member: 12886"] Hi! The answer to that is that it is an ongoing process. (my opinion and what my friends and I talk about anyway)... There is that initial grief and then as time goes on things like milestones when other kids can do things but your child still can't or things that trigger a memory of when you first found out, or ????? bring it all back. As for as your little one, yes he may struggle, but he may not too. Or, what often happens is people learn to work around those words that are harder. My son still says pernament instead of permanent (among several words he struggles to day) and many multi-syllabic words have to be taught deliberately and rehearsed. He is quite apraxic but that is the least of issues that he really has to deal with. I hope your son does well and does not have to struggle much. Of course there are an co-existing issues to be on the look out for but you sound very on top of things so I am sure if any kid has a great chance, yours do. If your son who is in Occupational Therapist (OT) really has sensory processing disorder (SPD) then he may not have adhd as I am sure you are learning. But boy those symptoms sure can look the same! It is still a struggle. How does he do with other developmental things like play with other kids, eating, early childhood academic milestones (pre reading, counting, colors, etc.). How does he do with changing activities from one to another or following your directions? Do you have other concerns? There is a book called You Will Dream New Dreams...and I dont know where mine is or I would give you the full citation. It is true, if your child has a challenge that will alter their lives permanently, you end up dreaming new dreams and celebrating their individual progress. Still, there are those moments of grief and all you can do is honor your feelings and allow yourself to share with those who understand (that's what I do here)..... many hugs, Dee [/QUOTE]
