Avatar f tn Tantrums are absolutely normal for that age and you describe a boy that has difficulty with speech so you will see a lot of this. Hard to convey anger,m frustration, sadness when you have no words to use for it. I would read books on emotions with him to give him language. I'd say "oh, you look mad. What can we do?" And then have things he can do to help release the anger appropriately.
Avatar m tn Unfortunately, an ischemic stroke in older adults can lead to cognitive decline, dementia and walking problems. For each person suffering this type of stroke, the situation can be unique and is on a spectrum from mild to severe. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327112 I would speak to his neurologist about this. Is his blood pressure well controlled?

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.
5549102 tn?1376522673 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.
Avatar m tn I can see many of the problems - she does not share and often takes things away from others, she still engages in parallel play, often playing in the center but not with the other children. she also has a speech delay. I feel really badly for her, and I've tried to encourage the other girls to play with her, but so far , nothing has worked. The epitomy of it all was that they all had a play date aftrer school this week, but left her out. What can I do to help?
9771188 tn?1405907831 Has anyone had problems communicating? I have problems with finding the right word to use. Sometimes I use I will get so frustrated. My family and friends say that I repeat myself a lot. I do know this, especially when I am excited, happy or upset. I completely lose my train of thought. I used to be able to speak in public, and train people. This has been difficult for me. Am I alone? I have battled through much worse demons than this, but I don't want to give up now.
Avatar n tn I'm concerned with my son's development and behavioral problems. He is 33 months old, has vocabulary of about 50 words that only me and his mom can understand. We checked his hearing and everything is fine. We are bilingual and talking Croatian in our home. We read books to him in English and Croatian and he seems to enjoy that. Outside our home we talk English.
Avatar m tn says he is not autistic just has some senory disorders and speech delay. They are wanting him to do ot and pt in school and out of school. they are giving him 90mins of resource and speech daily. The dr. has prescribed him zoloft for the anxiety. I have ask the dr. about maybe him having a vitamin defiency or low cholestrol because i ready these things help develop myelin in the brain. My son also has generalized seziures and a chromosome abnormality.
Avatar n tn If he does that is delayed echolalia and a SALT should be made aware of this and should assess his speech as echolalia is a speech disorder. He may rely on TV/film phrases to make up his speech. If that is the case it will be even harder to remove the cussing because he is lifting who dialogues from TV/films and putting them together like a verbal puzzle. This also indicates he does not have as good a grasp of language as first impressions indicate.
Avatar n tn A patient with mild hearing impairment may have problems understanding speech, especially if there is a lot of noise around, while those with moderate deafness may need a hearing aid. Some people are severely deaf and depend on lip-reading when communicating with others. People who are profoundly deaf can hear nothing at all. In order to communicate spontaneously and rapidly with people, they are totally reliant on lip-reading and/or sign language.
Avatar m tn The symptoms she had included falling and staggering gait, memory problems, slurry speech, trouble balancing her checkbook (she always did math in her head!), changes in her personality and her sense of humor (more depressed, argumentative, no longer understood jokes and local quirky expressions, etc.), urinary incontinence and just before the surgery, bowel incontinence as well.
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 The first place to start is having your children assessed by a professional with experience diagnosing autism and other disabilities. Your children's pediatrician should be able to provide you with a referal. This is just step one of a long-term process of helping your children recieve the services they need, but there is hope and the possibility of improvement.
Avatar m tn i have always known there was something different about my son the way he is i have another child and didnt have any problems like this with the other , he didnt speak until he was 4 , he still struggles to know how to act around kids his own age , he is very aggressive especially when we go places or you put the wrong clothes on him , he doesnt like ppl touching him , but he loves cuddles ( on his terms ) he hates playing tig and loud unexpected noises ,gives little eye contact , we need to be
168006 tn?1241012961 So I am reading the comments and noticed something. All of you have sons that have this speech regression or speech issue. Is it more prominent in boys? I know that boys' speech development is usually later than girls. My 20-month old daughter says quite a bit and repeats everything we say, or tries to. But I have a nephew who is 4 months older than her and he says a few things but mostly grunts. So just wondering if this is predominantly a boy thing?
Avatar n tn which is hand flapping, spinning around in circles, that sort of thing. There are lots of reasons for speech problems. Really only having a speech therapist help diagnose is only way to figure that out. Sometimes kids just pronounce things wrong and need a speech therapist for a few years. Sometimes it will straighten out on its own... but again, you really need a speech therapist/speech pathologist to assess that, if you have concerns. If you live in the U.S.
Avatar m tn t breathe all the time even though the spirometer tests were normal and I was scared about it. Have you seen a speech therapist? It made a world of a difference for me. What happened is, and I know this sounds crazy, but your body has probably forgotten how to breathe. Since anxiety makes people have bad breathing patterns, even when you're not anxious, you can feel out of breath. I laughed when I was told to go to a speech therapist but I was oh so wrong.
Avatar f tn My step-son is seven. He is in first grade. He has severe problems with learning his words, letters, sounds, etc. Everything to do with that sort of English/Language Arts part of school. Also with anything math or number related. He doesn't make friends very easily at all. He will not approach other children and usually identifies better with adults. When I say that I don't mean on any kind of mental/intellectual/emotional level, he would just rather be in the company of adults.
Avatar m tn Ive seen adults with DS and although their speech is pretty poor, you can understand what they are saying. I just worry that he will never get to that stage. What can we do to improve his speech?? Any advice would be great!
Avatar f tn My 4 year old granddaughter has obvious speech problems. It is very hard to understand her. Her speech patterns have also changed. She used to call her mother "Mama-ee" and now she calls her "Mahee". She cannot pronounce her own name, Meaghan. I want my daughter to get her a hearing test and she says she does not think she has a hearing problem.
