Special Causes
My daughter Alexandra was diagnosed with
Apraxia and she takes speech therapy twice per
week. Alexandra is using a speech device. The
device gives Alex a voice. The insurance company
thinks this device is not necessary and after
appealing it twice decided to go through the school
to get Alex her device.

She is doing amazing with it. She uses it along with
words/sounds to communicate, even says I love
you mommy with it.

It is awesome!!

Jacobsen in December 2006.

Alexandra's syndrome is very mild therefore she is
no afflicted with many of the health problems of
Jacobsen Syndrome.

Alex's Jacobsen deletion is: 11q24.1
