Now I am married for 6 yrs, my wife hardly knows I have or had stammering. Trust me, it is a psychological problem. I never take any medicine or therapy to cure it. As many people wrote I too thought I have problem in speaking words starting with some syllable. But all are some kind of mental block, definitely there is no such thing exists. Don’t ever make certain mental hallucination in your mind and don’t believe that you have problem with some words. Don’t take too much advice or visit a doctor or visit a therapist or trust on any magical medicine etc. Appreciate everytime you speak without stammering and realize that it is within you. Eventually you will forget that you had stammering. All the best.

Name: Great Article on Speech Therapy Country: India Comment: Individuals with severe speech disorders sometimes cannot communicate verbally and instead rely on another means of communication. These other options are considered augmentative communication if they support verbal speech and language and alternative communication if they take the place of verbal speech and language. Gestures and body language, formal sign language, writing and a variety of communication aids are often employed as means of augmentative and/or alternative communication. Gestures and Body Language Gestures and body language are typically means of augmentative communication in that they are used in tandem with some verbal speech to get a message across. For example, pointing to objects, giving the “thumbs up”, winking, crossing the arms, and shaking or nodding the head are all means of conveying a message without speaking. Unfortunately, gestures and body language are not universal, nor are they standardised. What is meant by a specific gesture may differ from person to person or culture to culture. Individuals who will be communicating often with someone who relies on gestures or body language to augment their verbal speech should take care to learn what each gesture or action means. Sign Language Sign language is a mode of communicating that uses hand signs to convey meaning. Sign language may be used to augment verbal communication, but it is often an alternative means of communication as well. Sometimes sign language is described as “talking with the hands”, and many people refer to being able to “speak” through sign language. Facial expressions, finger spellings, and shoulder movements also comprise methods of communicating via sign language. Sign language is relatively common throughout the United Kingdom, with British Sign Language (BSL) and Signed Support English (SSE) the most common types used. Regional variations do exist, and Irish Sign Language (ISL) is often learned in Northern Ireland in addition to British Sign Language and/or Signed Support English. Writing Writing out messages by hand, or typing them via typewriter or computer, is another method of communicating that can both augment or replace verbal speech. In order for individuals to rely on this type of communication, however, the small muscles of the hands must be strong enough, and coordinated enough, to make writing a viable option. Communication Aids A variety of communication aids exist to both augment and replace verbal speech as needed. Communication software, voice amplifiers, switches, and mounting/holding devices can all be used as augmentative and/alternative means of communication. Word/symbol boards are another means of supporting or replacing verbal speech. These boards allow individuals to point to items or words that they wish to communicate. Some software, such as Boardmaker, allows individuals to add to their boards as desired. Electronic communication aids may also be employed to support or replace verbal speech, such as SuperVoca, an electronic display communication aid, The Liberator, an electronic communication aid which allows synthesised speech, and The TouchTalker, an electronic display communication aid which allows produces synthesised or digitised speech.

Comment: Teach him to blow the bubbles (it will strengthen his speech parts) every day for 10 minutes and goggle with water. •Toddlers will imitate sounds more easily than words. While playing with the car, encourage him to say …Beeeppppp, Trrrr, Boooommmm. Verbal sounds must be made simultaneously with movement. Encourage him to utter sounds. When he sees the train, let him begin with KOO-KOO or CHOO-CHOO (Look for Super Duper Publications in Google). Name: mani Country: U.S.A. Comment: For kids: First get the opinion and recommendations from the Doctors, speech pathologists and other experts in the field. Remember that every minute the kid is growing and you need to have a lot of patience and dedication. Gauri Mehta has clearly pointed out that “it is a long-time investment in the development of their neural connections”. Provide nice environment for plenty of interaction for the kid (either you should spend a lot of time or let the kid interact with other peers; obviously grand parents are the best choice since they have patience ,dedication, commitments, time and lots of love) with right materials (colourful picture books, flash cards, play materials etc – google for lakeshorelearning). Avoid processed foods (noodles that contain agino motto/flavor enhancers or foods with artificial food colorings), oil foods and sugar substances. Make sure that apart from breast feeding, he is getting all the nutrients (talk to your paediatrician…for example junior horlicks contains most of the vitamins and minerals required). Never overfeed your child, his calorie intake must be proportional to his day to day physical activities. Let him go through a healthy lifestyle. He MUST be physically active and engage him thoroughly.

Name: Saritha Sudhakaran Country: United Kingdom Comment: Stammering in very young children is quiet common. Infact in normal development of speech milestones and language development to some extent some children will go through the phase of stammering.As they are very young don't encourage this behaviour by asking them to repeat the same and dont't make it very obvious to correct it. By doing this infact your making the child more aware and then it becomes as conditioned response.If you want to recorrect his /her words or setences then use alternative method( more of play method). Some children also use this as attention seeking behaviour or as aviodance for certain situation.if you are really concerned regarding the speech aspect of your child then please do visit the any nearest speech therapy centre. They will do thorough check up of your child's orofacial examination so that they can rule out that there is no other Physiological or structural deformity or abnormality which is contributing to stuttering some times. As a parent it is also very important to observe the childs stammering /stuterring pattern if its more of repetations or prolongations or any syllable or word blocking whcih will help in diagnosis. If you are not sure which is your nearest speech and hearing centre to contact for help call up the Mian departments addresses are mentioned in previous mails by other profesionals in this site and from those centres they will be able to guide you to your nearest centre.

Comment: I've had stuttering/stamering problem ever since I can remember. I dont know how to get rid of it. I've made improvements and realized that only when it comes to certain emphasized letters I have a tendancy to stutter. these letters are s,g and d. for some reason when the long part of these consanants presents it's self in my day to day speech I have a hard time getting it out, usually I stutter it out but if it comes out at just the right time, every thing will come out smoothly, not without a little bit of effort on my part tho. that effort is what I want to get rid of. every time I start talking to somebody new I get self conscious about my speech and try to find ways around those certain consenants. ya know the s,g and d. furthermore I have been struggling with this speech problem my whole life and was just wondering if it was a physical impediment on my part or if it is purely mental, and can be fixed with doing some kind of mind techniques or some stupid crap like that.

He is not speaking except only a very few words like pappa, mamma. He tries to speak words but is not able to. He could understand well and does whatever we tell him. In fact, he has had some congenital developmental orthopedic problems and after a long wait, he just started walking now. We have not done any tests as yet in relation to speech. Doctors told us not to worry about it and to wait for some more time as his rate of growth is slow compared to the ordinary children, say two years. We are very much concerned about this. Do we need to perform any tests? Where do we do the tests for any abnormalities of tongue like Tongue-tie? Can you suggest some centers in Mumbai (if available in Thane/Kalyan area)?

Though he mulls a few words (in all, about 15 words) which are said to be common, like amma, appa, ball, car and van. There are some words which he tries but pronounces differently like "thato" for "auto", "thatty" for "patty" etc. We see a great cheer in his face when we recognize the words which we guess he is attempting to speak. But, he is totally unable to speak words like bus. Of late, he is showing interest in clubbing two words at a stretch and speak. Whenever we help him pronouncing certain words, he is reluctant to respond and instead shies away. Shall be grateful to you for your views/suggestions to improve the situation. Probably you may also recommend some specialists in Chennai who can help this kid.

Please expose your kids to your mother tongue as sson as they are born. Keep this up for the first three years. make a conscious effort. Remember it is a long-time investment in the development of their neural connections - whether or not they pick up the language, this wil help them to develop with richer neural structures, making it easier for them to pick up any language they want to later on. If you and your spouse speak two different langauges, speak your own and let your spouse speak your own. Your kid will sort things out in a few months.

I'm currently having my On the Job Training as a caregiver ( I just finished my 6 months of study as a caregiver here in Philippines. My client is a special chile with autism, he's 11 years old and is very bright, he is very independent, the only thing he lack is the ability to speak so he could express what he wants. As much as I want to help him, I could'nt do much because I have no formal education in speech therapy. His mother is looking for a speech therapy here in philippines, one that can teach him privately without much cost because they are not that rich. Also, if there are tips that can be shared to me, so I myself can be of a little help in teaching him how to speak. Please inform me thru my email address: noridale2000@yahoo.com if there are seminars to be conducted on Language and Communication Skills Development for Autistic Children. In my short period of stay with this child, I've learned how to love him more like my own brother so my only wish is that, I could be able to teach him somehow in a little way as long as I'm still here in Philippines.

So many times she tried to open her mouth to imitate what I said but was unsuccessful. PLEASE HELP ME TO BRING OUT WORDS FROM HER MOUTH SO SHE CAN EVENTUALLY LEAD A NORMAL LIFE.

The school is really helpful to her, yet I am still looking for a thorough program for her speech growth.

My email address is reenavivek@rediffmail.com Name: Soma Pandey Country: india Comment: My child is now 2 year 2 months old, and he does not speak any word at all. he only speak single letters like MA, BA, DA and likes, I tried a lot to make him speak, but he never try to repeat what I am saying, and tries to run away from me whenever I ask him to speak. All other developments are normal. He also listen and understand most of the things we say, like if we ask somthing which is known to him, he will bring that, if I give something to him and say "put it there in the kitchen", he will go and keep the thing in the kitchen. He also understand what we say, mostly, as whenever he see his sister doing something for which we use to stop him, he will start saying NA..NA to her (as we say to him). He does not hv any hearing problem as he hear even small sounds also. Whenever we call from behind, he turns to us. When someone rings the bell from outside, he is the first to notice that. I consulted some doctors, but they said that it will take some more time. Kindly let me know what should I do, if there any tests which I should do for? I am from Nagpur, please let me know if there is any doctor available for this in Nagpur. Please help.

I've been to several Paedatricians and there's nothing wrong medically and they told me it might be psychological problems- took her to the Child psychologist and she said my baby is still young to solve this problem and I feel I am wasting her time by not doing a thing right now.

Keep this up for the first three years. make a conscious effort. Remember it is a long-time investment in the development of their neural connections - whether or not they pick up the language, this wil help them to develop with richer neural structures, making it easier for them to pick up any language they want to later on. If you and your spouse speak two different langauges, speak your own and let your spouse speak your own. Your kid will sort things out in a few months.
