ON THIS PAGE WE WILL ATTEMPT TO PROFESSIONALLY AND TRULY ANSWER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL AND PERSONAL CONTACT.
- After my wife had a stroke, it became difficult for her to move and she was diagnosed with aphasia. This has completely changed her behaviour (frequent attacks of causeless anger, uncontrollable laughter, crying). How can I help her?
- My child is not speaking yet, and it is almost two and a half years old. When should the child start going to speech testing?
- You have not provided enough specific data about your child.
- In the case of scant communication, the most important thing at that age is to determine whether there are preconditions that are necessary for the development of speech and language - what was the status of hearing at birth, whether the child responds to your voice, how he or she reacts, does he or she understand what is being said (in terms of performing simple actions), whether there is any other means of communication that the child is using, etc.
- The best thing to do, if you are unsure, is consult a speech therapist to determine the true condition and further analysis.
- My child is four years old. He does not pronounce some sounds clearly and does not speak properly. Do we need to contact a speech therapist?
