Apraxia?

Is anyone familiar with Apraxia?

Our foster son is FINALLY going for help with a Speech Therapist. She has seen him about 4 times and thinks that he has Apraxia, which is a neurological condition.

Anyone been through this or dealing with this?
Should we go to a Neurologist, we have been once but that was a for a different reason?
Since he doesn't have a definite diagnosis what do I do?

He has emotional issues which is what we thought was really standing in the way of this Speech development, but now what?

I will be talking to both the Speech Therapist and his Mental Health Therapist tomorrow so I should know more then, but since I do not feel we (as foster parents) get complete information, does anyone have any advice?

Thanks,
