This week I worked on my research. I thought about my project prospectus alot, and how I am going to put all that to print. I thought I had found alot of good resources, until my topic changed. After meeting with Mrs. McComas wednesday, my essential question has changed from "Why is DAS so hard to treat?" to "In what way does the Lindamood Bell program facilitate speech improvement?" On the mailing list I joined parents are always commenting on this program, and how it and others like it have helped their apraxic kids. My problem is that when I researched this on the internet, or in the library (none), there is not a lot on it. The program has their own website that is very helpful but that is only one and not peer reviewed. Another thing that troubles me is that the website talks about how Lindamood Bell's focus is on dyslexicia. I don't remember if that was a main problem for Apraxic kids or not. I do know that they have problems with sequencing so maybe they do. So now I feel like I am starting all over from scratch. I am sure I can do it but just have to slow down for a minute to see where to begin and go from there. Now that I have started to research it, I will try to come up with some resources. (I sure hope that I don't have to go back and change all that I have done so far.)
I think that this question can be answered, and I think that I can do it, but I think it will take some time.........and well let's just be honest I have all the time in the world (hee hee hee). Just kidding I have to try to make myself believe that so I can finish this semester in one piece.
