This indicates that the digestive processes required for the digestion of milk are somewhat different from those required for other foods and especially for other proteins. It is essential that the milk be coagulated and that the casein be converted into paracasein.
Apraxia is a poorly understood neurological condition. People who have it find it difficult or impossible to make certain motor movements, even though their muscles are normal. Milder forms of apraxia are known as dyspraxia. Apraxia can occur in a number of different forms. One form is orofacial apraxia. People with orofacial apraxia are unable to voluntarily perform certain movements involving facial muscles. For instance, they may not be able to lick their lips or wink.
I have a 5 year old son who was diagnosed at the age of 3 with apraxia. Since then he has been diagnosed with PDD (I also have a son 7 years old with PDD..verbal). The school's speech therapist now says Michael has dyspraxia and not apraxia. I really do. The confusion between the difference in apraxia and dyspraxia is not uncommon. In fact, the literature as well as many professionals use these terms interchangeably. Often, the debate among professionals leads to the misuse or overuse of the terms.
