Dyspraxia is a problem with sensory/vestibular system. Children with dyspraxia have trouble understanding their body position and the relationship of ones body to the objects around them, and while kids with speech delays might also have this issue, I think what the teacher meant was "apraxia" which is a speech and laguage diagnosis. This misstatement should send you a very, very, strong message here.
Teachers are not the people who should be diagnosing your child.
What you really need is a full evaluation by a Developmental Pediatrician. This is not your regular pediatrician, this doctor will call in speech, language, hearing, neurology, geneticists, OT, PT, phsychologists, ENTs-What ever she needs to make the full diagnois and give you a treatment plan that you can count on. You will really miss nothing and it will give you peace of mind that you are doing everything you can. Call the nearest Children's hospital and make the appointment. It will take several months before you get in, so if you can possilby afford to do so, get her some private speech therapy in addition to ther EI. Time is the only thing you really have that is free, and the more therapy she gets early, the better the outcome will be.
Teachers mean well, and they may have good hunches, but they are not diagnosticians. EI is great, and I am glad that you are getting it, but that will not be all that she needs to reach her maximum potential, and that is what you want for her. The state is only required to make her functional, and while many individual providers will accomplish more, that is all you have a right to.
The same will be true once she gets to school, and she should qualify for school based services through IDEA at age three. So if she is not yeat scheduled to be evaluated through your local school district, contact them now so that you are ready to go by her third birthday.
In my experience, if you are questioning if your daughter is making adequate progress, then she probably is not. I would ramp up to get her more therapy while you wait to get in with a developmental pediatrican and school district assessment.
