Chelsey Goins, MS, CCC-SLP's Expert Contributions
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?
I would absolutely encourage you to see a speech pathologist. My caseload varies from infants to my oldest patient being 103. READ MORE
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?
I would see a speech language pathologist to get an articulation assessment. /s/ and /v/ can be later developing sounds, but early intervention is key if he is having errors that are not age appropriate. READ MORE

Take her to speech therapy. Early intervention is key! READ MORE
How long should speech therapy be after a stroke?
Each patient has a different amount of speech therapy following a stroke depending on their individual needs. If the SLP you are seeing believes your grandfather could still benefit, I would strongly suggest continuing therapy. READ MORE
Can speech therapy help my stutter?
I would definitely go to speech therapy. See a speech language pathologist who has experience treating stuttering to learn different compensatory strategies to help your speech be more fluent. READ MORE
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?
The first evaluation is normally longer than the following treatments, but it really depends on the therapist you are seeing and the age of your daughter. My evaluations normally last an hour and then I typically do 30-minute treatment sessions. READ MORE
My son is 3-years-old and isn't talking. What should I do?
I recommend you have formal testing done by a speech language pathologist. Early intervention is key! There could be underlying issues or he could just be a late talker. You need an assessment to begin the process. READ MORE
