  does my child need speech therapy: Speech and Language Disorders in Children National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Institute of Medicine, Board on Children, Youth, and Families, Board on the Health of Select Populations, Committee on the Evaluation of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Disability Program for Children with Speech Disorders and Language Disorders, 2016-05-06 Speech and language are central to the human experience; they are the vital means by which people convey and receive knowledge, thoughts, feelings, and other internal experiences. Acquisition of communication skills begins early in childhood and is foundational to the ability to gain access to culturally transmitted knowledge, organize and share thoughts and feelings, and participate in social interactions and relationships. Thus, speech disorders and language disorders-disruptions in communication development-can have wide-ranging and adverse impacts on the ability to communicate and also to acquire new knowledge and fully participate in society. Severe disruptions in speech or language acquisition have both direct and indirect consequences for child and adolescent development, not only in communication, but also in associated abilities such as reading and academic achievement that depend on speech and language skills. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program for children provides financial assistance to children from low-income, resource-limited families who are determined to have conditions that meet the disability standard required under law. Between 2000 and 2010, there was an unprecedented rise in the number of applications and the number of children found to meet the disability criteria. The factors that contribute to these changes are a primary focus of this report. Speech and Language Disorders in Children provides an overview of the current status of the diagnosis and treatment of speech and language disorders and levels of impairment in the U.S. population under age 18. This study identifies past and current trends in the prevalence and persistence of speech disorders and language disorders for the general U.S. population under age 18 and compares those trends to trends in the SSI childhood disability population.
  does my child need speech therapy: Building Verbal Imitation in Toddlers Laura Mize, 2012-05-01 Laura Mize, pediatric speech-language pathologist and founder of www.teachmetotalk.com, details the hierarchy of imitation skills she teaches to therapists in seminars throughout the country and in her best-selling therapy manuals and DVDs. Many times therapists and parents don’t see success with late talking toddlers because the child needs an “in-between” step to help him learn the next component for expressive skill development. Our professional plans can also fail when we use techniques that are too clinical for parents to be able to remember and practice at home. This eight level approach is contained in Building Verbal Imitation in Toddlers.

  does my child need speech therapy: Grit Angela Duckworth, 2016-05-03 In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” “Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere” (People). The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. “Duckworth’s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better” (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit’s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference. This is “a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success” (The Wall Street Journal).

  does my child need speech therapy: If It Isn't FUN It ISN't Fun Marci Melzer, 2019-09-19 Have you been frustrated with your speech therapy experience? Marci Melzer, M.Ed./SLP, is an intuitive speech-language pathologist with 30 years of experience helping people to develop the ability to use spoken language functionally. As a speech therapist, Marci found the health care system to be increasingly disempowering for both her and her clients. She finally left after being required by contract to go against her ethics for financial gains. Marci is now helping families by training the parents to facilitate language themselves faster, easier, and with a lot more fun than speech therapy. My 8-year-old son has ASD. He still was not talking after 5 years of speech therapy and 2 years of ABA. Language facilitation helped us hear new words without prompting within 2 weeks. In one month, my son gave up his iPad communication system to talk. ~ Jennifer, Kentucky, USA Marci learned, after decades of speech therapy, that parents are the best language facilitators. Parents already know their children better than any therapist can. They know what their children are thinking and feeling due to the natural, intuitive connection between parents and their kids. Marci's language facilitation program equips and empowers parents to see the speech learning from the child's perspective. She teaches parents to self-analyze their own teaching methods as well as their child's school and therapies to discover the habits, patterns, and mindset issues that are keeping their children stuck in nonverbal communication and resistant to learning to talk. The results of language facilitation are so much more than speech. They provide a world our kids begin to trust and as they gain confidence in themselves, their abilities, and in each relationship they open up to so much more. Speech has only been the tip of the iceberg for us. Watching our son (who will be 7 years old next week) engage with the world around him has been a gift beyond measure. ~ Janaiah, North Carolina USA Parents whose late-talking children have received diagnoses such as Autism, Apraxia, Global Developmental Delay, Genetic Disorders, Brain Malformation, and Auditory Processing Disorder are now conversing. Parents are seeing almost immediate results in children from 2-years-old to 13-years-old. Every child can benefit from parents using language facilitation. It feels wonderful to connect with my 10-year-old son through play and hear new words, phrases, and sentences every day. He was so sad and anxious about all the prompting in speech therapy and it did not work anyway. ~ Mary Ann, Wisconsin, USA Hundreds of parents watch Marci's videos on Facebook and YouTube every day and comment on how the strategies are helping them overcome their child's resistance to speech faster than speech therapy. Now, parents can have a print-version of Marci's Language Facilitation program to use at their own pace. Every family who eliminates communication blockages and facilitates language naturally has heard their limited-verbal and nonverbal children use spontaneous spoken developmental language within weeks. Many children begin talking within days. These strategies are that good. The concept of language facilitation gives the power back to the parents. Our children love and learn the most from us, not schools, hourly therapy sessions, etc. We naturally teach our children everything and Marci integrates this with her teaching. We need more Marci's in this world to keep up with this epidemic, our children deserve the best and Marci teaches parents how to not only reach their children but to teach their teams and supports how to do it as well. Once all are on board you will see results that will blow your mind! ~ Tracy, Illinois USA

  does my child need speech therapy: The Zones of Regulation Leah M. Kuypers, 2011 ... a curriculum geared toward helping students gain skills in consciously regulating their actions, which in turn leads to increased control and problem solving abilities. Using a cognitive behavior approach, the curriculum's learning activities are designed to help students recognize when they are in different states called zones, with each of four zones represented by a different color. In the activities, students also learn how to use strategies or tools to stay in a zone or move from one to another. Students explore calming techniques, cognitive strategies, and sensory supports so they will have a toolbox of methods to use to move between zones. To deepen students' understanding of how to self-regulate, the lessons set out to teach students these skills: how to read others' facial expressions and recognize a broader range of emotions, perspective about how others see and react to their behavior, insight into events that trigger their less regulated states, and when and how to use tools and problem solving skills. The curriculum's learning activities are presented in 18 lessons. To reinforce the concepts being taught, each lesson includes probing questions to discuss and instructions for one or more learning activities. Many lessons offer extension activities and ways to adapt the activity for individual student needs. The curriculum also includes worksheets, other handouts, and visuals to display and share. These can be photocopied from this book or printed from the accompanying CD.--Publisher's website.

This book includes a plethora of speech therapy exercises that parents can practice with children suffering from articulation or phonological disorder to help improve their child's speech. It starts off by helping you to better understand your child's condition and the underlying cause for the disorder. Once you've identified the root cause, then treatment and therapy can begin.

  does my child need speech therapy: The Einstein Syndrome Thomas Sowell, 2021-08-10 The Einstein Syndrome is a follow-up to Late-Talking Children, which established Thomas Sowell as a leading spokesman on the subject of late-talking children. While many children who talk late suffer from developmental disorders or autism, there is a certain well-defined group who are developmentally normal or even quite bright, yet who may go past their fourth birthday before beginning to talk. These children are often misdiagnosed as autistic or retarded, a mistake that is doubly hard on parents who must first worry about their apparently handicapped children and then see them lumped into special classes and therapy groups where all the other children are clearly very different. Since he first became involved in this issue in the mid-90s, Sowell has joined with Stephen Camarata of Vanderbilt University, who has conducted a much broader, more rigorous study of this phenomenon than the anecdotes reported in Late-Talking Children. Sowell can now identify a particular syndrome, a cluster of common symptoms and family characteristics, that differentiates these late-talking children from others; relate this syndrome to other syndromes; speculate about its causes; and describe how children with this syndrome are likely to develop.
