speech

Avatar f tn It would be sensible to speak with her pediatrician and see if she should be evaluated by a Speech/Language pathologist for the purpose of assessing her swallowing process and the status of her oral muscles.
Avatar n tn It is possible to provide therapy and make problems worse, so they would want the ENT to review and determine the cause of the hoarseness. Many times a speech pathologist will not make a diagnosis. Speech and language symptoms are often a sign of something else.
Avatar f tn I met many parents at the clinic who took their children to see an SLP (speech language pathologist) because the child was confused after being only exposed to 2 languages. It's certainly something to think about.
Avatar n tn Talk to your doctor and ask for a referral to a speech-language pathologist. This is a therapist specially trained to help with problems such as the one you are describing. It sounds like you are having trouble with the strength of your vocal cords, or with something blocking the movement of your vocal cords.
500419 tn?1220124743 Head Start is great for the social interaction. But from your post your son needs not only speech but language also. Furthermore I'm not sure that head start has a pathologist? You said they are going to work on speech in head start. Did they tell by the classroom teacher or by a professional in that field. I prefer programs like ELP and the Early Intervention Programs which have the pathologist on staff .
594330 tn?1219167188 I am worried sick about his lack of comprehension and am looking for answers. Today I had a child development specialist and a speech pathologist observe him and thespeech pathologist said she was more concerned with his lack of command following than use of the language. I don't know if maybe there are things I can try to do or change to help him reach this level of cognitve and communitive development.
Avatar m tn If not, I would definitely start there, by contacting a speech-language pathologist (the local school district is a great place to start, they provide services as early as age 3). They will definitely want to start with a hearing screening, and then evaluate his speech, language, and social skills. It could simply be a speech/language issue. If his delay is significant, early intervention is vital for him to catch up to peers by the time he needs to start learning to read and write.
584252 tn?1218223686 Hi i took my daughter Melissa to see a speech and language therapist today and she said from the little test she did her speech is within normal parameters, but from what i have been saying she did say she wanted to test her at school to check her understanding. She did notice that Melissa went into her own world and that when i spoke to her i had to repeat myself quite a few times.
Avatar m tn Your son is showing some delay in the area of speech/language, and this may be in the context of generally sound development overall. If the pace of his speech/language does not pick up some momentum over the next several months it would be prudent to arrange an evaluation with a Speech/Language pathologist and/or arrange an Earli Intervention evaluation.

Avatar n tn 5 year old guy has been diagnosed by three specialists (Developmental Pediatrician, Devel. Psychologist, Speech Pathologist) as being high functioning autistic sepectrum disorder. He will need an aid in preschool during free-play to help him learn how to integrate in groups. But i just wanted other readers to know that if I had been a stay-at-home-mom i would have never had noticed a problem. It was only in the preschool setting that these issues became obvious.

Avatar f tn For proper evaluation, it is best that you discuss this with your attending physician or your speech-language pathologist. Treatment will depend on the underlying issue. Stress-reduction techniques like meditation, acupuncture, biofeedback, massage, and yoga may also help. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I would say that it is time to get your child evaluated. Is a speech pathologist available to you? You could check with your primary care doctor about one to see. I also think a developmental pediatrician is a good resource if you have concerns about autism. I don't know where you are located, what country, and that would be helpful. What else is going on besides speech? How are other motor skills, fine or gross? How is his socialness?
Avatar m tn This deficit is evaluated immediately after the injury by a neurologist. Speech language pathologist may evaluate the cognitive and communication skills, neuropsychologist may evaluate other cognitive and behavioral abilities and occupational therapist can assess cognitive skills to do daily activities. Immediate intervention and therapy is the best approach taken by these specialists. It would be nice if you spoke to the treating neurologist about these possibilities. Take care.
Avatar n tn Now, at one level the behaviors (limited attention, limited speech/language skills, limited impulse control and frustration tolerance) are not unusual in a child his age. On the other hand, the combination invites a developmental evaluation so a determination can be made about the status of his development in the various spheres (motor, cognitive - including speech/language - social & emotional).

Avatar m tn If not, I would recommend that you seek this type of support as well. Also, a speech and language pathologist would be able to assist in diagnosis specific to language difficulties.
Avatar m tn Have you had your daughter evaluated by a speech and language pathologist? There are three parts of speech---- articulation, and expressive and receptive speech. The last two are the areas that would affect a conversation. I would have this checked first. Your pedicatrician will be happy to give you a referrel for this. Having difficulties in receptive and expressive speech would surely cause some social interaction problems especially with age mates.

Avatar n tn At age 4, his doctor felt that maybe he fell on the spectrum of Autism because of delayed speech and his behavior. I took him to see a speech pathologist. She said he had receptive/expressive disorder. I took him to a neurologist, and after 15 minutes of observation, he decided that it is Autism. I was told to get myself educated on the subject. After taking my child off all milk and wheat products, I found a DAN doctor. This doctor felt that he does not have Autism.

Avatar n tn I would definately address this with your pediatrician and work on some referrels to a hearing specialist to make sure she is hearing and a speech pathologist to evaluate speech. They start speech therapy as early as tiny infants. Sounds crazy because they aren't suppose to be talking yet but speech is much more than just saying words. The mouth muscles for example must be strong. Feeding issues with infants are often handled by speech pathologists.
20896457 tn?1592763839 I think she is going to have to be evaluated by a speech/language pathologist. She knows how to say plenty of words, but most of them don't come out clearly. I don't think people outside of our family would understand her. She also only says a few 2-3 word sentences. Although, she does babble all day, like she's trying to speak in sentences, but it's just gibberish.
Avatar m tn A consultation with a certified speech-language pathologist who specializes in voice therapy is recommended. They will recommend various techniques to assist you and provide relief to your situation.
Avatar f tn 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.
