Common Questions and Answers about Speech therapist md
speech
At 2 yr annual physical, Dr asked me if my son was speaking in 2 -3 word sentences. NO was the answer. He directed me to a speech therapist, that noticed "sensory perception problems", which sent me to an Occupational Therapist, that told us he was developmentally behind. Once he made it to 1st grade and the teacher felt Mike might be dyslexic......we were well aware of problems. He's 17 now, doing great in a school that has a "multi-sensory" learning approach.
My son is 30 months old. We became concerned when my son wasn't using words at 15 months. we had him evaluated by Early intervention and they found a significant speech delay. They were concerned about some behaviors and referred us to Developmental pediatrician. She diagnosed him with mild PDD. Since then we've had speech therapy, OT, itenerant teacher, behavior specialist and psychiatrist for almost a year now.
He didnt babble much as a baby, and not very much as a toddler, so at 2 years old I took him to a speech therapist...........now he is 4 and a half and the speech therapist just noticed that at the back of his throat his uvula is doubled, and she felt the back the top of the roof of his mouth and told me he has Submoucus Cleft Palate. We since have seen a nose ear and throat specialist and he says that my son doesnt need surgery, and should out grow his nasily sound by puberty.
She was assessed by early intervention (psychologist, speech therapist, and occupational therapist) and her pediatrician for autism and no one had any concerns. The speech therapist said she should be evaluated by a neuropsychologist. This is a very expensive assessment. Given the fact that she has been evaluated a couple of times do you think this is necessary? I am so frustrated, I have been trying to get her speech help for so long and have jumped through so many hoops.
He has since fallen severely hypothyroid and has slurred speech as well as fatigue, weight gain, and irritability. His MD has put him on Synthroid, but my question is will his speech go back to normal and if so, how long? It's very disturbing to hear because it sounds as if he has been drinking (he doesn't at all), and I'm worried how this may affect him long term.
5 years old, a middle child of 3 and has recently been diagnosed with esophoria. She is currently seeing a speech therapist for 1.5 years and has progressed well. She is also prone to regular fits (i.e. 1 to 3 x a day) where she becomes irrational and changes her demands. My wife and I are currently planning to have her see a behavoralist. Are these issues commonly associted with esophoria?
Furtheremore, I understand that typically young children out grow esophoria, it this true?
I live in Delhi, India and My pediatrician suggested me to consult speech therapist and I visited speech therapist also. He says she will talk in few months after attending few sessions, however, i dont see any change in my daughter after attending 5 sessions also. She imitates all the things but dont speak.......pls guide..
My son has sensory integration disorder and the two things that were noticed first were his speech and tripping. He was three. He was evaluated by an occupational therapist and has been doing OT since being diagnosed with sensory. He is now 6 and doing really well. Just thought I'd throw sensory into the mix for you to check out and see what you think.
I am afraid I do not know anything about a DO's qualifications. I have an MD who is my primary care physician but he essentially refuses to touch anything MS related.
It gets complicated for me in that repect, if I have an issue that seems MS related I go see my neuro if not I go see my GP.
I ran into an issue earlier this year that my neuro felt was not MS, so I went to my GP and he said it was MS related and a few months later my symptoms are a lot better so who knows?
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.
For coordinated rehabilitation program a team of a neurologist, a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist and a speech-language pathologist, a nutritionist work together to help you in your recovery. Therefore, I would suggest following the suggestion made by them and recovery will be although slow but most of the functions may be restored. In addition, it is essential to know that risk of stroke recurrence may be reduced such as by quitting smoking and controlling blood pressure.
Maybe you need to see a speech therapist for an eval and go from there.
I have not heard about Neuroaid until now (especially that it is not approved, yet). I googled this, and what I saw was that it is some kind of newly developed drug that is produced in China. Although there is some research being run now to test the effectiveness of this drug, I found an article about this drug (see the link). Based on the literature, this drug is being used in China in patient with brain injuries such as stroke 48 hours following a stroke.
m not the same as the therapist, but once a week, well, there are 6 other days that the speech therapist is not there, so getting homework assignments for me to do with my daughter, I find essential. And although she is not speaking so much right now, her receptive language (her understanding us) has dramatically improved, and she is communicating in other ways such as learning to point (that concept is really hard for her and it's been a struggle) and doing sign language.
Hi my sister-n-law had triplets and then another set of twins. All premie's and all with delayed speech. By age 2 they all had a speech therapist work with them because of weak mouth/tongue. Within a short period of time they all had advanced in their language skills. The therapist said with some mouth exercises they have really caught up. They are now 6 and 3 yrs old.
I would make an appointment for an evaluation with a Speech Therapist just so you can put you fears to rest. Most insurance will cover an eval. I do know the younger a child is when the receive speech therapy, the easier it is to correct.
Has she been nervous about anything? Has she had any accidents lately?
All of last week, she was being assessed and doing various evaluations by the physiotherapist, occupational therapist, the speech therapist and a neuropsychology. This week, there are a few more assessments to do and then they will begin with the therapy required.
She has not shown any improvements in her movement. We are past 4 weeks and from what I have been reading online, this means that no neurological recovery has taken place. Does that mean that it won't happen?
He has a speech therapist and an occupational therapist but no one seems to have any answers as to why is speech has stopped. We just moved from Illinois to Kentucky and the doctor in Illinois didn't seemed to concerned that he wasn't talking anymore but the doctor's here in Kentucky are very worried about it. He is a very smart child and is very aware of things going on around him it's just like he chooses to ignore you but he isn't like that all of the time.
