The therapist said that he had a problem using his tongue to form words so they would do exercises to move his tongue such as drinking from a straw and blowing bubbles. He is no longer seeing the therapist, I guess they felt he had improved and didnt need to see him anymore. His is still alittle hard to understand but I can tell that he is improving. He also stopped biting and fighting at daycare.
Yes, some kids do have a delay in speaking and it is meaningless. They begin talking in full sentences.
I think that I'd talk to your pediatrician about it, however. I always think checking in with an expert is helpful. Perhaps they will have some suggestions for you on how to bring about speech. Or if there is a bigger issue, they can begin to address it as early intervention can do wonders.
The other reason why it is important to address speech early on is because having issues with speech can hinder social growth. It is hard to play with friends if you can't communicate with them. At almost 3, she'll be coming out of parrellel play soon and moving onto play with peers.
So, I'd take her to a speech specialist and have her assessed. You can also do some mouth exercises--------- turn on music and you two make funny faces and then freeze when you stop the music.
Keep doing it in game fashion. Do tongue exercises----------- stick tongue out and pull it in really fast, move tongue side to side, move tongue up to roof of mouth (may be hard for him), trace lips with tongue. Suck a lollypop. Blow bubbles. Take a straw cut in half and blow a cotton ball across a table ----------- do it with him and have a race. Drink thick liquids through a straw such as smoothie, milkshake or applesauce. When he says something wrong, try not to always correct him.
I think the surgery released me from upper body tension but I still have speech problems and the tongue is quite short. My doctor says that when it will completely heal in 1-2 months she will check it again and maybe I will have one more surgery. I wrote a lot about tongue-tie on the internet but there was not anything about that sometimes you need to have more than one surgery to completly release the tongue. So are there any situations when one surgery is not enough?
I also have the slurred speech, but like thieb9 I have excessive saliva. it tends to happen in the evenings for me. Its an almost daily occurrence. I try not to talk when I feel that way. I also experience cognitive issues when this happens too. I don't realize it at the time, but if I answer an email then reread it the following morning it will be jumbled up like a child typed it..... I try and do all my buisness early in the day before my brain turns to mush and the symptoms flare.
ve had some botillium injections into the Chrico muscle and I consulted a Speech Pathologist that gave me exercises to do. That made a significant difference in the quality of my voice and I do Sing Australia now :)
I would recommend that you see a Speech Pathologist, but you need to get your GERD under control or even the exercises will not help longterm. The type of exercises that I do: yawns with a lot of technical direction and stretches of the tongue against my front teeth.
What you have is probably dysarthria or distorted speech due to inability to coordinate the muscles of speech. Local causes like fixed tongue, thick tongue, and cracked tongue should be looked into. Transient ischemic attack, Wilson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, myasthenia gravis etc are some of the causes of dysarthria.
My oldest son (now 8) is tongue tied. We found out at his 18 month appointment and realized that was why he could never latch on for breastfeeding. However, the Dr said at that point they recommend waiting to see of it affected him before having his frenulum cut. He's in 2nd grade this year and has never had any speech problems due to the short tongue. IMO, if your baby isn't having problems eating, just leave it be. If as he gets older he starts having issues, you could look into it.
what might be the cause of waking up suddenly from sleep during night because of a choking sensation due to severe swelling of tongue (so much swelling that I was unable to fit in my dentures) .This was associated with extremely garbled speech. I didn't call 911 because i couldn't speak. I checked in mirror and my smile was not distorted.
I am a 63 yr. old female who is on medication for hypertension and have a strong family history for stroke and heart disease.
She recently got into a major altercation with some family folks and because of the mental and emotional distress she has lost her speech ability. She can speak but with a heavy tongue and she says that she cannot feel her tongue.
Can anyone tell me if this phenomenon is temporary or permanent. Also what can I do to reverse this condition?
So my first baby had a tongue tie and I was unsuccessful at breastfeeding I had to pump the entire time. I did get it snipped but he was to use to bottles I just couldn't stand the pain, the doctor who snipped it though told me it was genetic so I'm just wondering has anyone had a baby with tongue tie and their next babies were also??
The man said so I saw you as I walked by, he asked if I had a computer? On a tongue depressor he wrote (spasmodic torticollis). For two days the tightness and not being able to take a deep breath persisted. On the third day my left arm became week. Now I got scared went to hospital while in waiting room my hand extended itself and it got tingly and very painful. I began to hyperventilate. They did catscan, ekg everything came back fine. They said it could be stress.

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 was born tongue tied (never know it was called that) lol I was fine, no speech problems at all. I didn't get it cut until I was 11. Everything has been normal ever since, my tongue is just a little short.
Prior to the surgery my tongue used to drift into the gap on the right handside where the cant occured and therefore my tongue is no longer asymetrical. It is causing me lot of problems in speech as now the gap is no longer their, the tongue has re-formed leaving it feeling like their is a large mass of tongue on one side of my mouth (the right side) and is not shaped at the side (like the left side) as it should be, thus catches between my upper and lower teeth when trying to speak.
