causes speech problems children

s infancy and he said he read that it is not unusual for children to have speech problems when the father is not there because the father has influence over the child's speech. Any truth to this?

Although it may not be autism - it may be pervasive developmental disorder. Many children with extreme sensory problems are diagnosed as PDD-NOS, and you are correct - most professionals do not beleive in Sensory Integration disorder as a separate problem, it is a pervasive problem which makes it PDD which falls under ASD umbrella. PDD-NOS, more precisely. Or even AS. Where while some symptoms are present, some are not. How is she with imaginative play, conversations, etc...

any way he has been have development delays, especially in his speech, and behavioral problems. any information would be helpful, i dont know what to do. we saw a developmental specialist a year ago because his pediatrician thought he was showing signs for autisms, but that was ruled out and was diagnosed with anxiety problems. he still is having major problem in school and going to see the specialist again in a few weeks. thank you for your time and hope to hear from you soon.

t say much. Not communicating very much has fed my speech problems and really hurt my social skills and my self-esteem, so I've decided to finally try to do something about it so I can feel comfortable making conversation with people. After listening to recordings of my speech and watching myself speak on video and in a mirror, I definitely noticed that I don't speak with very good articulation.

They both have severe speech problems and since they have been on the medicine their speech is improving but they seem like they are just drugged out to me. I have talked to their dr but he assures me this will pass. The 6 year old is extremly emotional while on it, I cut their dose to half of what the dr said and they still are not right. Any suggestions? I asked for strattara and dr says it will not work for them.

What you have is probably dysarthria or distorted speech due to inability to coordinate the muscles of speech. Local causes like fixed tongue, thick tongue, and cracked tongue should be looked into. Transient ischemic attack, Wilson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, myasthenia gravis etc are some of the causes of dysarthria.

I will say, in my more limited experience with life and children than you have, there is a correlation between kids who have ear infection problems and behavior problems, and it doesn't seem to be completely related to lack of hearing. There's something else that links chronic ear infections with very difficult children.

There are three parts of speech--- articulation (making the sounds) is one we all think of with speech. but there is also receptive speech (the ability to take in and organize what is said to you so that you can understand it) and expresssive (the ability to formulate the thoughts you want to express, to organize those thoughts into words to speak). Motor planning has a huge impact on these speech componants.

If his expressive speech (how he talks), or his receptive speech (what he understands is being said to him) are affected it will have a bit impact in school because most of the day involves listening to verbal information and having to communicate with teachers and children using speech. And he has also recently moved to another country and school as well. If he has these types of difficulties it is extremely 'normal' for him to be reacting with anger and frustration.

Can anybody help me I have had slurred speech on and off since last september it's not only my speech that is affected but my ability to walk and I have weakness in my right arm too?

HELLO, HAS ANYONE OUT THERE HAD TERRIBLE PROBLEMS WHEN YOU DECIDED NOT TO VACCINATE YOUR CHILDREN? DUE TO RELIGIOUS OR JUST PLAIN TERRIFIED OF THE POTENTIAL DAMAGES THAT THEY MIGHT CAUSE? PROBLEMS WITH SCHOOL, DOCTORS, FAMILY ETC. HOW DID YOU OVERCOME ALL OF THESE PEOPLE? HOW ARE YOUR CHILDREN TODAY? HOW IS THEIR HEALTH? IF YOU COULD GO BACK WOULD YOU DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN?

Sometimes, an autistic child will be high functioning in some areas, but not in others. Many children with autism have problems with certain textures, and some have issues with textures at all. Talk to your doctor about these issues, since they seem to be quite serious.

My son was the same way! Couldn't speak but could understand everything. At his 2 yr appointment our doctor brought it to our attention and gave me then number of ESA (Educational Services Agency). They evaluated him and we started speech therapy at 2. About 4 months in there was no improvement and so they did another evaluation and said that they believed he had Childhood Apraxia of Speech. Which is a motor speech disorder.

Once he reached 2, and still was not talking then they enrolled him in speech therapy and now he talks your ear off. He is 4 now. Some children are slower than others. I would talk to your doctor or get a second opinion. At 1 years old, they should NOT go on any meds for ADHD. This would harm the child severely at that age. Their little bodies cannot handle the stimulation that the meds are used for. I just cannot believe that a Doctor would even diagnose a child at such a young age.

s why speech therapists do not typically do full evaluations for speech until the age of three unless there are other problems. There is a wide range of normal. but I personally would watch closely. My son's speech issues were indicative of his developmental delay.

They must have delayed or disordered speech, problems understanding the meaning of words, difficulties following instructions, problems with expressive or receptive speech; (b) social communication. They must have difficulties with social interaction/play with their peer group.

my 4 year also had a speech delay after speaking to her pediatrician she was put into a pediatric speech therapy session twice a week for 30 mins a day it has helped her so much she has completed her therapy and is now speaking in full sentences that we can actually understand speak to your pediatrician there is alot of local county hospitals that offers this pediatric therepy and they are wonderful with kids thats all they deal with is kids with problems in speech i hope this helps you

If he has literal interpretation of language as well you can google Semantic Pragmatic Speech Disorder and see if that sounds anything like your son. If it does then he may be mildly affected or have traits of autism. Does he have any obsessions or are his range of interests limited? Has he ever been seen by a Speech and Language Therapist? If not you could ask for a referal as these are the professionals who are supposed to look at social interaction skills.

My daughter also had/has problems with speech. Turns out she has autism. Long before we got this diagnosis she was in speech therapy. Therapy helped a lot and I'm glad we started it as soon as we did. Try using PECS (picture exchange cards) to help him communicate. Even if he will grow out of this and it is not autism, he will probably develop some frustration from being unable to communicate well. The cards could be a great tool for him. You could also teach him some sign language.

Hello Dear, Brain abscess usually occurs secondary to a focus of infection outside of the CNS Dental abscess, sinusitis, and middle ear infection are the most common causes of this disease.The infection may also be introduced through a skull fracture following a head trauma or surgical procedures. Brain abscess is usually associated with congenital heart disease in young children.

Have your son evaluated at an agency for early intervertion for children, sometimes because children cant comunicate, they go into trantrums, I know my grandaughter had similar behavior and much more, we took her to get evaluated at an early intervertion center, Look up PDD in children.

ve written, it sounds like your son would benefit from special education services, whether it be speech therapy and/or a class for children with special needs. I would focus on helping him right now, as opposed to: catching him up to his peer level/grade level. From what you have said so far, it sounds like you have been pursing this through the medical community, which is good, but is he receiving educational services at all? If so, what type of education is your son currently receiving?

At his 2 yr wellness check my ped. referred him to early intervention for speech delay. His expressive speech was found to be 50% delayed. It was also noted that he had a short attention span, high activity level, and was "sensory seeking". At the time I was working full-time and his behavior was a little off. He would jump on things, get incredibly frustrated, have tantrums, and hit me.
