  • What is apraxia of speech in toddlers?

    Apraxia affects the connection of speech from her brain to the muscle coordination in her mouth to make the right sounds at the right time.

  • What is the difference between a speech therapist and a speech pathologist?

    The professional and correct use is speech language pathologist. A lot of people use “speech therapist” because it’s more familiar or easier to understand for them/the families they work with. They should still be a speech language pathologist (SLP), I would ask them to confirm. Ali Matisse, MS CCC-SLP READ MORE

  • Does hearing loss affect your speech?

    Yes, it is possible for hearing loss to effect your speech. More so for younger children than adults who have been speaking appropriately for most of their adult lives.

  • Can a speech pathologist help me with slurred words?

    Hi, Yes a speech pathologist can assist with strategies. Most strategies for this include slowing your rate of speech and building your confidence levels while communicating. Seek out a speech evaluation to get more specific feedback! Good luck. Ali Matisse, MS CCC-SLP READ MORE

  • Should I be worried about my speech impairment?

    Hi there, I would recommend a speech and language evaluation with your local speech pathologist. In the mean time, try tapping out or clapping out your words to slow down your pace of speech. Slowing down and over-exaggerating your mouth movements can help improve clarity when speaking. I hope this helps! Ali Matisse, MS CCC-SLP READ MORE

  • How can I tell if my baby has speech problems?

    Hi there, I would seek out a speech and language evaluation from a local speech language pathologist. All children blossom at their own time; however, typically at 2 years old, a child should be putting 2 words together (e.g,. hi baby, more ball, etc.). I hope all goes well! Ali Matisse, MS CCC-SLP READ MORE

  • My son is 3-years-old and isn't talking. What should I do?

    Hi, Typically, at 3-years-old a child should be producing short phrases or sentences. I would seek out an evaluation through your counties Intermediate Unit or a local speech language clinic. In the mean time, you can work toward improving his speech and language by reducing screen time (TV, tablet, phone, etc.), playing back-and-forth games with him, and talking to him about anything and everything that you or he is doing. Good luck! READ MORE
