speech

Avatar f tn I have a speech problem and what didn’t help me was everybody reinforcing that I had the problem. That only willed the stronghold and made me believe it more. She’s still young tell her she can speak and when people speak they don’t think about what they are going to say they just speak. And just let her do it if she stutters or anything just wait for her to finish speaking. She’ll get it down and it would help to find out why she turned out that way. My dad made me stutter.
Avatar f tn I have a son who will be 5 soon and am really confused if he is presenting with normal behaviour or something to worry about. He has never been the most social kid, gets very focused in what he is playing with etc. However, he does seem to take interest in other kids but just doesn't really know what to say to them I guess. He reads very well and understands what he is reading. He counts without difficulty to well over 100.
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 Hes now 18 months but doesnt say alot of words. He talks up a storm but its not words. My dr wants him to go to speech therapy. Has anyone else experienced this? Im just trying to figure out if hes behind because he was early and hasnt fully caught up yet.
Avatar m tn And the importance of pushing for things now is that it is much harder, once they are in a mainstream school, to get them placed in a school that has experience/expertise in speech language problems or other associated conditions.
Avatar f tn Children on the autistic spectrum tend to have speech delays and language processing problems. For example they may be able to request things eg. a drink or something to eat. But when you ask them a question you may get no response, or something totally unrelated to what you asked. So their expressive language is better than their understanding of receptive language. Then there will be social communication difficulties.
709940 tn?1231900307 t have any language difficulties (which will be unusual), it is still the speech and language therapists area to work on his social interaction and play skills. He will need to be explicitly taught all these things. For example, my son wants to play and interact, but doesn't know how to do it (he is 7), so the SALT is going to start teaching him some phrases to say in certain situations to help get him started. When he learns these phrases he can rely on them to get him going eg.
Avatar f tn She is left handed, does not recognize her alphabet, can barely write her name and has a speech problem. The teacher informs me quite often that she cannot sit still, disrupts others, and just "isn't getting it" as far as her school work is concerned. As our granddaughter does live with my husband and I, but we do not have legal guardianship, I am limited as to what kind of professional help I can get her without parent's permissions (another matter completely).
Avatar f tn i am very frustrated and worried at this point. she is receiving speech therapies at school for about 10months now. I don't see progress i need help with her pls respond.
473493 tn?1236836912 This means that your son should receive 20 hours of direct teaching in language, social skills and self-help skills. Services can be provided by early intervention or the public schools in your area. You may want to look for behaviorally trained professionals to supervise a treatment program by checking www.bacb.com for a person in your area.
Avatar m tn Then there is the mechanical part of communicating our language and that is speech. Problems with speech can include just trying to get the words out, pronouncing the words, the tonal quality of our speech, using emphasis and inflection. Problems with speech can be from weakness or spasticity of the muscles of our mouths, throats and vocal cords. Or it can be with the way our brain tries to direct the speech.
Avatar f tn Many assume that language issues are associated with autism and they can be------- but speech issues are quite common with sensory kids and speech delays exist on their own. Social skills did not come naturally to my child. We have worked very hard teaching them to him. We did a "social skills camp" last summer. Very helpful.
Avatar n tn It was our policy to have our four children learn the language of their host country and attend local schools. You have no idea how enriched their lives are. Each new language brings a new view of the world. This is particularly true when the language is not European. And it gives them also that rare gift - objectivity.
Avatar n tn The first professional to go in is usually the speech and language therapist. She needs to assess your daughters receptive and expressive speech abilities as well as assessing her for semantic pragmatic speech disorder. Does your daughter/son have any sensory difficulties? Are they over or under sensitive to sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste/texture, balance and co-ordination?
Avatar m tn At age 7 his speech is 50/50 his own made up speech and echolalic phrases/words/sounds etc. His expressive language is typical for 7 year old (because of the use of complex echolalic phrases brings his score higher). His receptive language (ie. understanding what people are saying to him) is at around age 3. I would also like to add that difficulty/lack of speech does not necesarily relate to levels of intelligence. It is simply what it is, a 'speech disorder'.
Avatar f tn It is hard to check hearing at that age because it assumes cooperation which lets face it most three year olds can sit for a hearing test, I would follow up with the pediatrician and the audiologist, the pediatriacian can give you a referal for a speech language assessment and they can help you determine it language is a problem or not.
Avatar f tn He is in a class of 18 children with one teacher and 2.5 teaching assistants. He has frequent speech and language therapy. The school has a very good grasp of autism and have given him verbal communication cards that are clipped to his clothing eventhough he is verbal because sometimes, when upset, he cannot speak. They have dinnertime clubs such as lego and play doh. They let them take in a toy to school and he can play with it when he has finished his work.
Avatar f tn 2, he is obsessed with numbers and letters, he recognises and remembers peoples house numbers after only seeing it once and can tell who lives there, we went on holiday last year on two seperate occasions stayed at two caravans and he can still remember the numbers, he has speech and language therapy which has now been advanced because his communication and langage is of a three year old, he also knows his 2, 5 10, and 11 times tables already, what is feelings to this or diagnosis?
6965936 tn?1394227011 They used baby sign language to help my daughter she was delayed in speech and would get so frustrated because she couldn't tell us what she wanted. But then we found out she has anxiety that causes selective mutism so they went a different route instead of the sign language.
293420 tn?1243142938 I think it would be great to have a Speech/Language Impaired forum. There are TONS of parents who post about their toddlers/children having speech and language issues, but they have to post on Parenting Toddlers 1-5. It would be great to have all of the posts in one place and be able to track one another's progress with their children and hear stories from other parents about their S/L impaired children. I'm an SLP and I would LOVE to have a forum for this.
574101 tn?1245537020 he makes good eye contact and is very friendly, hyper,knows what is going on around him if you get right down to it the only problems he has is speech(she says he language skills are fine he points ---)and at 4 years old wants to do what he wants to do.as well as many other dr. and I pay for in home dtt the dr.
Avatar f tn his physical development has always matched development milestones but his speech and language is delayed and he is having therapy for this without much real improvement.i started to be concerned by his speech and language and understanding around 12-18 months of age. my son is always active from swinging his legs or playing with his fingers while sitting to jumping up and down to running in circles.
543250 tn?1214743177 I forgot to say, yes Semantic/Pragmatic Disorder is typical of being on the spectrum and is one of the Disorders that a good Speech and Language Therapist will tell you that you are looking at a probable diagnosis of autism.
16666184 tn?1450255078 t possibly be there, lack of taste. Language and speech becoming increasingly difficult and needs more pauses and corrections. Significant weight loss 60+ pounds in 4mos. Shutting in. I'm being eaten piece by piece. Mind. Body. Soul. And no one can tell me what it is. I don't know what's worse, knowing something is wrong or knowing you might never know what ate you piece by piece.
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 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.
