  • Is stuttering a speech disability?

    Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), an individual with a disability experiences significant limitations in one or more major life activities due to a physical or mental impairment. Specifically, for individuals who stutter, the ADA recognizes that substantial limitations in the crucial life activity of speaking may qualify them as having a disability. This recognition is crucial, as it encompasses not only the physical challenges posed by stuttering but also addresses societal prejudices and misconceptions about disabilities, which can be equally disabling.

  • My daughter can't pronounce some letters. How can I help her?

    At six years old, I assume she is already in school? She should have been screened by her teacher and a speech pathologist, especially if she has a lisp. In some children, some sounds don't develop until later in their development, but speech therapy is necessary to improve a lisp. A speech pathologist has the knowledge and experience to help your daughter. If she has yet to see the speech pathologist at her school, you can request an evaluation through the special education department of your school district. You can also seek an evaluation and treatment with a speech pathology clinic outside the school district. Google "speech pathology for a lisp + your town + state." When you call a clinic, be sure to ask for a clinician who is experienced in the treatment of a lisp. Best wishes! READ MORE

  • Can hearing loss from infection affect speech?

    Yes, ear infections can impact speech. Babies need their hearing to learn about their environment and about speech. Think of a baby as a sponge, absorbing everything around them.

See your pediatrician to address the ear infection(s). Best wishes. READ MORE
