Common Questions and Answers about Speech therapy jokes

speech

My friend's son is a little over 2 years old and he still isn't saying much. She has him in speech therapy but it hasn't really helped. So she thinks he will speak on his own time. He knows what he wants and what things are, he just doesn't say it.

I suspect he may be ADHD, although symptoms have only now been an issue or a problem. One characterisitic that has been very consistent is a speech habit. He might say "I am going to the game" and then will whisper to himself "I am going to the game" It is less pronounced than when he was younger, but he seems to be doing it again more frequently. His frineds even joke about it. He is a normal, well developed teenager. Is very social and popular.

My son Reilly is 35 months old and approaching his 3rd birthday. Reilly has been seeing a speech therapist for 4 months and the therapist has recently identified that he has echolalia which means he repeats words when said by the parent but does not comprehend the question. Reillys comprehension of words and its meaning is impaired and he often hand leads to get what he wants or help himself.

I'd maybe start speech therapy with him. Your local children's hospital or your pediatrician can put you in touch with early intervention programs (which the US provides by law to our kids age 0 to 3). With the fact that your son's birth mother was activily using toxic drugs during gestation, you'd probably meet the criteria to be evaluated. Then perhaps, you could get some speech therapy for him at no cost. And remember, lots of kids are slow with speech and have NO DELAYS AT ALL!!!!

I have my dr's appointment today and I really want to speak to him about therapy. I was in there last week and he told me that he knew I was going to other dr's for meds and he was pretty mad at me. He hasn't given me anything other than ultram in about 6 months but he also thought I was through with the loracet that he had been perscribing the 8 months prior.

she plays well with other kids, is a very happy child, can understand and complete multi-task requests (such as go into the other room, get a certain toy and bring it in here and give it to Matt.) She has been evaluated for speech therapy/other therapy and found to have some sort of delay. She has been receiving speech therapy for about 5 months, but it doesn't seem to be helping like we expected.

There is no indication she requires a special education program, though she may benefit from speech/language therapy. That will be clearer after the evaluation. The more full-range evaluation won't hurt, it's simply not clear that it is necessary. And your daughter cannot be placed in a special education arrangement without your approval. If the special needs evaluation proceeds, it may well be that an IEP is developed solely for speech/language services, and that would be fine.

Two-Day Results Predict Ultimate Response to Therapy in Chronic Hepatitis C A new study suggests that previously noted low rates of successful hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapy in African Americans are in large part due to very early differences in the antiviral activity induced by interferon. The study is published in the April 15 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online.

He recognizes everybody and understands subtle expressions like jokes, sarcasm etc. Started speech therapy but progress is limited. The strange thing though is that the docs have been unable to completely point out the reason for the aphasia since he is a right handed person (naturally) and there is no apparent infarcts in the left side of the brain. (apart from old lesions). I am confused since the speechy center would be located in that area and there is no sign of damage there.

The parts of brain mostly affected in NPH, are those that affect the legs, bladder and cognitive mental processes like memory, reasoning, speech and problem solving. Treatment options are limited, surgery can relieve and those not candidates for this will have to be given behavioral therapy. Hope this helps. takecare.

thank you he does like to play with other kids and he does have adhd but they do not want to give him the meds tell he off the lamtical for hes seizers 11 months not one next month they will take him off and see if its helps with the hyper

He is going to start Physical therapy, ocupacional, and speech therapy. I hope this will help him. But do you think he has autism. We are going to see a neurologist on July I hope for that time he will improve a little bit.

I had a seizure and went unconscience(my first time ever)which led them to find 2 blood clots in my frontal lobe by a cathera through my groin,leaving my left arm paralized for only 4 days, and with rehab seems to be getting better.My speech is ok, but is not the same, my head constantly is pain even with pain killers.I now take coumadin,dilantin, nerve damage medication and pain killers every day.I was also told I will not be able to get pregnant under these circumstances.

use your cell phone to record o/t, speech and physical therapy...make sure you review these sessions...you may discover something you didn't see or hear the first time..take plenty of pictures...your mom progress may surprise you...your mind is working 100 miles an hour...its easy to miss slow progress..and this is what its all about...this pictures will slow you down and show progress...also serves to show your mom her progress...on bad or confusing days picture progress will come in handy...

when he was about 16 to 18 month he used to pick up my cell phone and said hellloo, byebye and nonono and baby. Now he is barely saying one word. He is currently in speech therapy 3 times a week. He likes to stare at my chandelier and spin around. I saw a development specialist and she said that he is showing signs of austism. and No one can tell me what causes it? What can I do? and where do I stand?

My son did not talk until he was 3 and he still needs speech therapy because of his difficulties. He is also in occupational therapy because his motor skills are not very defined and he has a hard time touching things of different textures. My sons diet consists of : Pizza, Mac&Cheese, Chicken noodle soup, cheese (american only), chicken nuggets, bananas, yogurt and choc pudding. It has been the same diet since he was eating solid food.

The best thing you can do right now is what you are doing. Getting him speech therapy and evaluations because early intervention is the key to getting them on the path to being successful and happy. You are doing the right things so no need to freak out or stress. Having Autism doesn't mean he is broken. He will still be the same boy you love. The only thing a diagnosis will change is your ability to help him progress and develop. Good Luck! Waiting is the hardest part.

It's the same thing with PDD NOS and aspergers. Speech delay or not there are many crossover symptoms. The speech delay should be noted, but as far as dividing up into completely separate dx's, perhaps that's where there is more confusion than necessary. Then again I don't know. I'm just rambling off the top of my head. Any of this makes sense? Perhaps it'd make a good debate anyway.

You might want to talk to your doctor and neurologist to see what therapies would be best suited for you as the therapies I talked to about above have helped her with her MS & also with some of her memory & cognitive skills as well .

Her only real issue so far mentally is that she's having a lot of trouble reading words. Part of her therapy required her to answer a series of simple logic questions such as "What do you do if you cut your finger?" and she answered them all perfectly, even amusing the therapist at one point when she answered the "Somebody is breaking in to your house, what do you do?" and she pointed at my father and said "Call him".

It is better to start the physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational and massage therapy as soon as possible as it requires couple of months to regain the muscle strength. You need to have patience, as she will progress slowly. Gentle massage, routine exercises and heat therapy can be continued till a physical therapist works on her soon. Also she can be assessed by the attending neurophysician/neurosurgeon for the progress and advice. Take care and share your thoughts.

The drawback is of course the cost. A session of occupatioal therapy or speech therapy would cost about 100 euro for each session. Thats without seeing a therapist who specialises with autistic kids and that cost about 1000 per session!

What about the fact that he can't remember things, slurrs when he talks, sometimes acts like he is about two years old (and I am not joking about that, almost a mentally retarded type of action), is verbally abusive, has no energy, his body hurts all the time, his face sags sometimes, his eyes wander (two different directions) and I could go on. But it comes and goes. He always has something, but has good days and bad and then really bad. Does this sound like MS? He was tested for Stroke..

He should be assessed by a Speech and Language Therapist, psychologist, and maybe other professionals and they should all be experienced in diagnosing autistic spectrum disorders. It maybe that he is just speech delayed, but depending on his verbal communication problems a good experienced SALT should be able to give you an indication as to whether you are looking at a possible/probable diagnosis of an autistic spectrum disorder.

Also, if you feel a tape would help, then do not hesitate to bring one (I know of several parents who have done this very thing). By the way, speech therapy will not help a selectively mute child as the "problem" is anxiety and not speech issues. It is thought that anxiety is an inherited trait. One more thing - the site listed above has many excellent resources which can help with the education and socializing of your daughter.

Did it effect anything else like speech, eye sight, memory or cognitive skills? The Internet is a great place to research for ideas which you can bring up with his doctor(s). As you will find, many doctors are not as up to date on the cutting technology as you would think but don't let that stop you. The one thing I did find is that there is no one magic pill or therapy. There are lots of small things one can do though and in combination, may provide improvement.

We would have 1 good therapist out of the three therapies that she had but what we we did was went to the therapies with her and luckily I have a job where I work with therapist and we have done it on our own. My dad works with her all day long stretching her legs working her arms doing speech exercises and my mom now walks with a walker and the help of 1 person holding a gait belt.

Now that I am home with my new fashion accessories as all my friends call them (my neck brace, leg braces and hot wheels) I am doing physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy three times a week, nine hours total. I can't wait to finish this road and continue on with my life. I look forward to my next triathlon, and dancing again.

I would suggest that she is also assessed by a Speech and Language Therapist because although she developed speech you are saying that she may have problems processing the meaning of language and that she also doesn't understand some types of humour. This is typical of Semantic Pragmatic Disorder which can accompany high functioning autism or aspergers.

Enquire within your place of study as you could get a fellow student who is going into the field of speech therapy to work with you on this issue and who will be closely monitored by a professional. This will be very cost effective, and may benefit you a great deal.
