>Hello all,
>I have been happily lurking for about a month. You all have created quite a

>I am interested in this list because I have a nine year old daughter with
>fine and gross motor problems/delays (medical diagnosis-static
>encephalopathy, SLP diagnosis-apraxia of speech, OT diagnosis-sensory
>integration disorder.) These problems were first identified when she was two
>years old. Now, her speech therapist and occupational therapist are wondering
>if she might have mild cerebral palsy. So, I joined to get a sense of the
>issues. We are taking our daughter to the cerebral palsy clinic at St. Louis
>Children's Hospital (Missouri) in October 1999 to have a neurologist look her
>over.
>When I'm not being a Mom, I work at a clinic as a nurse practitioner. I have
>a professional interest in individuals with developmental disabilities, but I
>see everyone.
