Common Questions and Answers about How much does a speech therapist make
speech
He has not been diagnosed, although they think he has something which is in the spectrum of autism disorder. But does have a speech and language disorder. He ahs the understanding of a 2.5year old! Its very frustrating, he finds it very difficult to understand what im sayin. Its the same for me when i try to understand what he's trying to say. He's slowly getting better since he started school last september.
Speech problems may include slurring, long pauses between words, nasal speech, tremor in voice etc. You could ask the hospital to send across a speech therapist. This will help improve her speech even while the inflammation is there. Once the relapse is under control, speech therapy will speed up the speech recovery.
If she is feeling well enough to write and does not have shakiness or tremors in hand, you both could communicate by writing.
you have to get him in speech but my son is the same age and he does the same thing he cant say anything he brings me a cup if he wants water and he is alone most of the time i had to stop workin so i can find out what is wrong with him so far they didnt tell me much but they know he needs help.
I have a 25 month old girl who is significantly delayed in speech. She can say about 5 words but that is about it. She seems to understand some but not all of what we say. She will sometimes point to objects in a book if you ask her to, more likely she will point to something and want you to name it. She doesn't answer yes or no questions.
I bet that if you go down to 1, maybe 2, languages you will see a lot of improvement. Just to be safe I would also take her to see a speech therapist. 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.
If the person has any difficulties swallowing, they will be seen by a speech and language therapist, who can assess the problem and work out a diet that is easy to eat. Some people will need puréed solid food and thickened drinks. A dietician will make sure the diet has all the right nutrients.
I recommend that you discuss this with your father's neurologist. Take care and regards.
I think your daughter will be talking a lot soon. Just because she is in Speech does not mean that she has autism. My friend's soon did not talk much when he was 2 he had speech for a year and he had a home program. He is four now and talks so much his mom says sometimes he talks too much.
Does your daughter watch Baby Einstein? There was a news report that children who were watching it developed speech delays. My son watched it alot and had the speech delay.
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.
This really is down to mum and dad to discuss with help from professionals about how they can teach him appropriate language. A Speech and Language Therapist (SALT)should really be involved because they also affects social interaction skills.
Does he repeat words/phrases from TV? 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.
You should also call this doctor and ask for a referral to an OT therapist and speech therapist to schedule these evaluations. You so not want to end up in 6 months waiting another 6 months for these OT and speech specialists to evaluate him. Six months to 12 months is too long in the life of a 3 year old. Early interventions and therapies are key to getting these children up to speed. You do not want to waste time.
It is all exercises for the mouth. But a speech therapist can help you the best with this. My son had trouble chewing and speech therapists and occupational therapists can help with that as well.
So, I can't say for sure what is going on with your son. You've seen a specialist that says possible autism. I'm just a mom on the internet so I don't want to discount that. I'd take any steps that they've recommended.
t have early intervention under age 3, but at age 3 1/2, she started going to a speech therapist and then continued to get a therapist at elementary school, though she was in a regular classroom for most of the day, just 1 hour a day with the speech therapist who also aided her in reading and writing. She spoke late, and when she did speak everything was pronounced wrong or she'd say the wrong word.
I did that and my psychiatrist found after her complete evaluation that she has Expressive Speech Delay and motor coordination is not fully developed. So she referred us to a speech therapist and suggested us few exercises. Do you think that this recommendation is Ok for my daughter........... Pls guide..........
Their pediatrician referred him to a speech therapist and that was the best thing! He has so improved in the communication department and is one of the most social and friendly 6 year olds I know. It's like he was released from his prison.
And as far as the school system suggesting autism, well, I will say that a non professional giving that kind of diagnosis possibility is out of line.
