CHILDIf you are visiting this website, it’s most likely because you are frustrated or worried about your child’s speech and language. You may be asking yourself or other parents questions like these...
“My child is XX months old and is not saying any words, when will he/she start talking?” “I can’t understand what he is saying, but I know he is trying to say something.” “My child is making sounds and some words, but other children his/her age are speaking more, what should I do?” “How do I get my child to say more than just “XXX” over and over again?” If you have found yourself asking these questions, you are not alone. I have helped many parents work through these frustrations and eventually, together, we speak! Every child is unique in his/her speech and language development. At the same time, every parent has expectations for their child. |
ADULTIf you are visiting this website, you or your loved one most likely is experiencing a loss of speech or language after a tragedy due to illness or injury. Adjusting to this can be overwhelming and frustrating. I have worked with many adults who have had a stroke or other unexpected illness and injury. With this, they lost their ability to swallow, speak, or understand language.
You or your loved one may have thought or said things like… “The words are in my head, but I just can’t get them out.” “He understands everything, but he just can’t speak to me.” “It’s so frustrating, because I know what I want to say, but it’s like it comes out differently than I intended.” “I lose my voice by the end of the day and I need my voice to do my job.” |
