Avatar m tn I went to my speech therapy this morning. She had me saying ahhhhhh, ooooh, eeeeh and reading from what looked like a grade second reader. The she made a mistake. She said, "Tell me a little about yourself." Now, being a complete windbag I went into a dissertation that rocked her back on her heels. She kept asking me to take a deep breath as i talked.
Avatar f tn My son was the same way! Couldn't speak but could understand everything. At his 2 yr appointment our doctor brought it to our attention and gave me then number of ESA (Educational Services Agency). They evaluated him and we started speech therapy at 2. About 4 months in there was no improvement and so they did another evaluation and said that they believed he had Childhood Apraxia of Speech. Which is a motor speech disorder.
Avatar f tn 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.

193609 tn?1292180293 She said that they do educational speech therapy and that Ashtyn needs Clinical speech therapy. Is there anything that would be as helpful as speech therapy since my insurance wont cover it and the ISD doesn't do the speech therapy that he needs? Ashtyn is very behind in almost all communication skills. I don't know what else to do for him, and no one can help him!
325405 tn?1262290178 t believe she is pushing drug therapy here. I think she is supporting you for the speech therapy. As far as pushing the other stuff, I haven't seen her other posts to know where she stands.
Avatar m tn My son was saying 20 words by the age of 18 months and by 2 1/2 had over a hundred words, however they were nearly all labels, he found it very difficult (and still does to a certain extent) to structure sentances, ask questions etc etc. By 3 years old he was quite echolaic, confused me, you, your etc rearely used the word no and never said yes in response to a question.
Avatar n tn my little boy did not talk until he was two. we approached his pediatrician about this and he sent us to get a hearing test which turned out normal. finally at age two he began talking. at four now, he is just fine. you may want to see if she has a problem with her hearing which could be making her slow to speak.
20896457 tn?1592763839 With that said, my son has something called sensory processing disorder. Tripping frequently is a sign as is garbled speech. When you do a speech eval, they check the three areas of speech which are articulation (the ability to understand the words she is saying), expressive language (ability to formulate what to say to others) and receptive language (ability to understand and process what is said to her).
Avatar f tn Therapists’ first work with patients to create sing-song sentences that can be set to familiar tunes, then work on removing the melody to leave behind a more normal speaking pattern. This kind of therapy is recommended for patients who have no meaningful form of speech, but can understand language and have the patience for therapy sessions. I hope this helps. Take care always and regards.
Avatar m tn yes he has been ordered speech therapy and physiotherapy as well. But everybody around me saying that a speech therapy can't help it. It can come back just suddenly, there is no specific and really helpfull treatment for it. thats why i am asking here that what should i do.? i don't have any idea about it. But i will try my level best to recover his speaking power. so please help me if possible. thanks.
Avatar m tn Aggressive behavior and delayed speech patterns are common symptoms of autism. Also, consider enrolling your son in a speech therapy program. The sooner you get him started on speech therapy, the better will be the outcome.

Avatar n tn s son has some issue where he can hear himself speak, which makes it harder for him to talk(i forget what the medical term is). Anyhow, I would get her evaluated, she may need speech therapy, it will only be good for her. Ive seen wonderful improvements from speech therapy in children. A young boy 3 years barely said a word, is now talking a mile a minute.
Avatar f tn You have some form of aphasia, which is where your speech will get confused. You mentioned neuralgia, and pain can cause a person to lose focus. Hopefully you are receiving proper medications to stop your discomfort, because that should help you with your word thing, if that is the cause, and it's the one thing I KNOW will cause aphasia, which I have it from injuries in a car wreck.
Avatar n tn And she refused the Birth to 3 speech therapy for him as well. He has made very slow progress compared to my daughter (they are the same age, only 1 week apart). I mentioned the things to her, only because my daughter has and will be going through them, but after that I don't suggest things because I know she gets frustrated because she hears the same things from her family.

Avatar n tn s just that they utilize their normal speech and language abilities only in certain situations. Usually speech/language therapy per se is not useful for such children, though some forms of group speech/language therapy (focusing on the pragmatics of communication) might be helpful. Likewise, cognitive-behavior therapy, focusing on the anxiety such children usually display in out-of-home settings, can be useful. As you consider intervention, it is important to obtain accurate diagnosis.
Avatar f tn //www.speech-therapy-on-video.com/wordfindingdifficulty.html Medical Names for Word Finding Difficulty Word Finding difficulty is a symptom also referred to as: •anomia •dysnomia •anomic aphasia Anomia is the inability to come up with the names of objects, places, and people. To some degree this happens to all of us as we age. However, individuals whom experience some type of brain trauma may encounter this difficulty on a regular basis.
Avatar m tn Yes to Spongeboba's suggestion that you should definately try to get your sister physical therapy and speech therapy. I don't know with the paralysis whether she is eligible for the PT, but she is talking and could certainly use the speech therapy. I had aphasia after my carotid artery dissection stroke which means I was speaking jibberish (sp?) and hardly able to speak and I also had much difficulty understanding what other people were saying to me.
Avatar m tn I have had a lot of problems with my speech including word retrieval but it all seemed to have started by being overdosed on my meds by a inept neurologist. However, I am still having trouble with my speech in that I sound like I am drunk due to slurring my words. I have even more problems when I am tired with slurring, stuttering, and word retrieval. I am to supposedly undergo a neuropsych consulation to find out if the cognitive problems I have are due to my MS diagnosis.
1507589 tn?1289851554 he has been diagnosed with severe language disoder and muscular irregualarities as he seeks constant movement all the time. we attends for speech and language therapy and has been discharged from occupational therapy as he has passed the age of six. we are now on the waiting lists for therapy for 7 upwards. The psychologists from his school thinks he suffers from a form of Autism and referred him to a child and adolescent pychiatrist..
Avatar n tn Hello, I have a 4 year old boy who does not speak - thru speech therapy and some bio-med we managed to get him to say some sounds some words and word apprximations. At this point we are willing to try anything I heard from someone that there was a big study in NY where some specially trained dogs helped kids with speech delays. does anyone know anything about it?
Avatar f tn Mention the developmental delays, but don't mention the word autism. Some people totally freak out and will shut down when they hear any label word. If he's a late speaker, then he needs to go through speech therapy. If he's not making eye contact, an occupational therapist would do wonders. You don't even need a diagnosis. Anyways, if the mom is in the US, she could ask her pediatrician about her state's 0 to 3 program.
Avatar f tn Our grandson is 28 months old and does not say one word. He does not know how to play with toys properly, he doesn't know how to use any utensils. He rocks, spins, flaps his hands. He does however, touch you and gives kisses, is not afraid of personal contact. We have talked to his parents since he was 15 months, as we noticed so many signs if delayed development, they finally took him to his doctor for his 2 yr check up and they decided to do some evaluating.
Avatar m tn We didn't start our daughter in speech therapy until 24 months, and she never spoke a single word until then. I had started teaching her sign language around 18 months, on my own. Sign language really helps alleviate the stress of little kids who can't tell you what they want. They can sign it. Some kids love sign language (my daughter did), and then others refuse to learn it. At 24 months her sign language vocabulary was somewhere around 20 words.
