Why is dada usually a child's first word?
The early developing consonants are usually /m,b,d,p/ and children beginning producing those consonants with vowel combinations when babbling. “Mama” or “dada,” normally get a big reaction from parents so they begin using that combination for attention. READ MORE
Are speech disorders treated in children in foster care?
Yes, I have personally treated many children in foster care. Services vary depending on the state. READ MORE
Why do I have trouble pronouncing certain letters?
The way you produce /s/ could be for a few different reasons. I would suggest getting a referral from your primary care physician for a speech evaluation and beginning therapy to train a new technique. READ MORE
When should you take your child to a speech pathologist?
Yes, you should inform his pediatrician and follow up with a speech language evaluation. READ MORE
Can an adult see a speech pathologist?

When should I worry about my child not talking?
I recommend to go ahead and get a speech-language evaluation. Early intervention is key! READ MORE
Can speech therapy help with tongue-tie?
The lingual frenulum (tongue tie) can restrict the tongue’s movement for proper articulation for speech sounds. I recommend to have an ENT or your pediatrician check your son’s lingual frenulum and either get it surgically corrected or start speech therapy. Speech therapy will likely help him catch up once it is corrected. READ MORE
After a stroke, my husband is unable to speak clearly. What should I do?
Yes, difficulty speaking can be common after a stroke. I would definitely recommend speech therapy as soon as possible. READ MORE
My son is unable to pronounce certain words properly. How can we help him?

How can I tell if my baby has speech problems?
At 2 years old, she should have 2-word combinations and a stranger should be able to understand about half of what she says. If she is not meeting communication milestones, early intervention is key! Speech therapy could be a big help! READ MORE
What causes children to have a delayed speech?
Each child is different and develops at his or her own pace. If your son is not meeting communication milestones, I would recommend seeing a specialist for an evaluation. READ MORE
How is speech delay treated in speech therapy?
A speech language pathologist would establish a functional communication system with your son to help request his wants/needs whether verbally or nonverbally through an augmentative alternative communication system. I would recommend looking into a therapist that is PECS certified. READ MORE

How long does a speech therapy session last?

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