  • Can an adult see a speech pathologist?

    Yes! I know SLPs that focus their practice on working with older teens and adults with speech sound concerns. READ MORE

  • Should I be worried about my speech impairment?

    I've worked with people of all ages. If you are motivated to grow in that area, it's a good reason to connect with a professional you trust to see what your potential might be. Stuttering, cluttering, speech sound disorders, orofacial myofunctional disorders can all be supported even as an adult. There are other factors at play too. READ MORE

  • Can stuttering be fixed?

    I'm not a doctor of SLP, but I am an SLP and I've spent some quality time working with individuals who stutter in a dysfluency laboratory helping with research and out in the field. My favorite resource for stuttering is Dr. Christopher Constantino. His TEDx talk and his podcasts are uplifting and provocative. They show a neccessary mindset shift about stuttering that the world should experience. READ MORE

  • My son still can't pronounce his "r's" properly. Would therapy help him?

    It depends on age. If a school is concerned, then chances are they have concerns based on what is expected for a child's age. Speech therapy can improve an R from when a child is young or when an adult. When an R is the issue, I like to rule out tongue tie and consider if orofacial myofunctional therapy is required alongside what we think of as traditional speech therapy. That can sometimes be the difference between success or not. READ MORE

  • i have puberohonia (female voice, pitch break, etc)?

    Hey there! AWESOME question. As I am a pediatric speech language pathologist that works with late talkers with lots of frustration and emotion... I would refer you to an SLP with special training in the area of "Voice". I usually recommend the local university with a speech and language program because sometimes they provide free or discounted services and they are SO GOOD about sending you to who you need. Voice specialists can be hard to find, even with speech-language pathologists (I know of only 3 in my state!). University programs for speech and hearing are usually really well connected! The professional you go with may also recommend a scope of your vocal folds during phonation to make sure things are functioning properly. I wish you well and hope the best for your next steps.
