  • Can high creatinine levels impact speech in a person?

    It sounds like her overall health is compromised so speech can be affected by that. If her speech is slurred, you might need to get a speech and swallowing evaluation with a medical speech therapist who does swallow studies. An overall speech and language evaluation with a swallow study may be necessary. Contact your insurance to see what's covered. Therapy might be able to rule out other concerns and give some tools to improve her clarity of speech. READ MORE

  • Will my mother regain her speech after her stroke?

    It depends on how extensive the stroke was and your mother's age, but often you will see improvement within the first six months. I have even seen improvement years after a stroke.

  • My voice is extremely low. What can I do to enhance it?

    I would recommend LSVT Loud therapy to work on projection. You can also work on singing and breath support to project better. You may not hear how quiet your are when speaking, so your voice may sound louder to you than it actually is to others. Contact your insurance to see if a speech/language evaluation and therapy are covered and find a therapist trained in LSVT Loud therapy. READ MORE

  • Why is my 4 year old son still unable to speak fluently?

    Stuttering occurs in 4-5% of children and 1% of adults. I cannot thoroughly consult about a case via email. I charge $185/consultation if you would like to consult further about your child's stuttering/dysfluency. READ MORE
