Avatar f tn Yes, repeated infections can have an impact on hearing. Your son's development of speech/language is definitiely delayed, and this warants evaluation by a Speech/Language therapist. But an audiological evaluation is crucial, because it is possible that the delay in speech is secondary to hearing loss.
670385 tn?1228373341 You not only have the stress of living in a foreign country and not speaking the language but having the added stress of having a child sick and not being able to communicate with a doc--it's too much to ask of i. If the vomiting continues and she is in distress I would find a doc that speaks English....they are everywhere.
Avatar n tn I think that kids that have multiple languages spoken are at a great advantage as knowing multiple languages is fantastic but it does create issues for early communication sometimes. Often along the lines of the primary caregiver speaking one language and many others in their world speaking another. I think I'd ask her doctor on her next doctor's visit about the lack of speech. It is a good sign if she gestures and communicates in 'some way'.
Avatar n tn I know a young child who is five years old and his speech habits are similar to those of your son. He started speech therapy at two years of age but as yet, no formal diagnosis has been given. His parents believe he is apraxic - the speech therapy has helped tremendously and he is doing so well.
3149845 tn?1506627771 It was amazing to me to visit Indonesia and meet an uneducated person who nonetheless spoke English, Bahasa Indonesia ( the unifying language of Indonesia) as well as his tribal language and was learning Chinese ! People usually feel more comfortable and can more accurately explain themselves in the language which they learned as a child. Perhaps this is why those workers speak Spanish.

Avatar f tn I express no opinion on the subject but I did find this interesting. "Glossolalia is commonly called "speaking in tongues". For other uses of "speaking in tongues", see Speaking in Tongues (disambiguation)." "...Aside from Christians, other religious groups also have been observed to practice some form of theopneustic glossolalia. It is perhaps most commonly in Paganism, Shamanism, and other mediumistic religious practices.

Avatar m tn Your fear in this case and perhaps a part of your depression might be be ways of dealing with the fact that there's likely unfinished business of some sort from the past, relating to you. If I were you, I would seek a very good therapist, who practices regression and hypnotherapy, to help you shed some light to this mystery with some explanation and perhaps treat your fear, depression and also your variant of agoraphobia/social anxiety. Need more details on this, please send me a pm.
Avatar n tn I have two different friends that speak both and they teach their babies both (under 2yrs old) and i noticed they know a little bit of each language but they are a lot more behind on just one language. Like instead of knowing twenty words in english only, they know only 5 words in english and 5 in spanish. I have no idea what others experience with it is like, this is just how both of these babies are and they are not associated with one another.
Avatar n tn they are all fluent in each one of them and have never, to the best of my knowledge, suffered any type of language development or speech issues. you should inform the teacher of her ability to speak a foreign tongue and just allow the daycare to use one language all day and maybe you can continue to use the mother tongue at home. give her extra time to begin to speak out clearly in these two languages. she has more to learn than other children.

Avatar f tn My grandson, 5 yo, has not been diagnosed but exhibits strange and inappropriate behaviors. He learned to read at 4 unbeknownst to us all (not taught) and understands a foreign language at 5, also not taught. He does everything without thinking first, hits people, throws things around, uses sexual language etc and doesn't understand that it is inappropriate. He is also very loving and nice and has a really original (and funny) sense of humour.

Avatar m tn Trump destroys what the "the establishment" Republican Party is all about, so I'm ALL FOR HIM. This country has been trying the same thing, over & over & over, for the last 60-years... and look where it's gotten us, and WHO it's gotten us. Of course, none of you really like him, and that's okay. That's what makes this country mediocre...
Avatar n tn Most diagnoses at this age are not very accurate, but intervention is incredibly helpful regardless of the diagnosis. There is a lot of fluctuation in development and a million reasons why it might be off track...what is important is to see if it is "off" enough to require intervention. If yes, then do it. It makes all the difference in the world!!!
Avatar m tn t work, you need a specific system just for stutterers as the mechanical thoughts are not aligned with the speaking system. It involves many mechanical, technical and emotional factors. Even the fear of speaking, or if you are not able to correct your mistakes during your speech, you would need to face all those situations where you should speak.
Avatar n tn I recommend that you have your son participate in a developmental screening as soon as possible. From your description, it sounds as though your son is experiencing a language delay. Early intervention for any developmental delay is critically important, so you will want to get your son evaluated soon. Be sure that any evaluation results in recommendations for how to interact with you son in a way that will help encourage his language.
1039061 tn?1257878294 All he wants to do is stay in his room and watch TV and really his only motivation to do ANYTHING is when it is a crisis situation. I will talk to him and sometimes he just looks at me like I am speaking a foreign language to him. He does go to work everyday, but he is self employed so he doesn't really have to do the work if he doesn't want to. I am 100% certain that his meds are not right!!! I am not sure how to handle the situation.
