Justin's success story on EFA's

 

My beautiful son, Justin, was diagnosed with Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia (Apraxia of speech) when he was 2 ½ years old.   He was completely non-verbal and extremely frustrated.  Teaching him sign language and beginning intensive speech therapy helped diminish his frustration; he was learning to communicate.  During the next year we learned Justin had sensory integration issues, hypotonia, oral hypersensitivity, esophageal reflux, oral apraxia, as well as the verbal apraxia.  By the time he was 3 ½ his frustration was building and he was having horrible “meltdowns”, behavior problems, and extremely high anxiety.  His SLP was having a hard time with his therapy as he was not responding well, and was being extremely difficult.  His doctors and SLP recommended he start on medication, such as Prozac and/or zolof.  I knew in my heart this was not what he needed.  I was encouraged to read the LCP Solution; immediately I knew I needed to start him on EFA’s.   I began noticing a difference within a week once I started him on the EFA’s.  He went from speaking one word simple commands, to speaking in sentences.  He went from being non-vocal to talking ALL the time.  The longer we are on EFA’s, the more progress I see.  His articulation needs a lot of work, but he is communicating with his own voice – and that is music to our ears.

The difference EFA’s has made in Justin’s behavior is amazing!  He now has eye contact and has had NO meltdowns since starting the supplements.  His anxiety has normalized, and he actually WANTS to socialize (something he has NEVER wanted to do!)

His SLP was once a skeptic, but is now a believer.  She says the difference in Justin is astronomical, and now recommends EFA’s to all her apraxic and autistic children.

Because of the EFA’s, intensive therapy, sheer determination and a lot of love, Justin is talking…….every time I hear his voice it is like an angel singing directly to me.
