My son still can't pronounce his "r's" properly. Would therapy help him?
R normally is not a worry for SLPs until the child is around 7 years old; it’s a late arrival in terms of perfect pronunciation. I’m not sure how old your child is, but an SLP READ MORE
R normally is not a worry for SLPs until the child is around 7 years old; it’s a late arrival in terms of perfect pronunciation. I’m not sure how old your child is, but an SLP can for sure assist in nailing that R to perfection. The R is by far one of the trickiest sounds to teach because it takes a lot of visual/verbal cues to assist in correct placement. Look up the R Speech Buddy as a good tool, as well as what your SLP recommends for exercises at home
What can be done to help my 5 year old son speak more clearly?

If you’re looking for at home additional help, instantly reading and “bombarding” him with correct verbalizations and articulations is always a great informal technique. Read to him as much as you can and when he mispronounces a word, repeat it back correctly so he can continue to hear it. I always recommend a full speech and audiology Eval to rule out underlying disorders or even a slight hearing loss which could be making him misinterpret what he hears which turns into what he is speaking

Every stroke is different depending on location, type of stroke, and how severe the damage. There are some factors that can aid in predicting improvement including motivation, age, and how soon speech therapy is started as well as intensity of the therapy (how many minutes for how many days of the week). My suggestion would be to push for speech therapy as soon as possible for the greatest chance of improvement
Can puberphonia be corrected with speech therapy?
Every person is different with each diagnosis and the effect of treatment and carry over of education, so I can’t for sure say yes it helps or no it doesn’t. It wouldn’t hurt to READ MORE
Every person is different with each diagnosis and the effect of treatment and carry over of education, so I can’t for sure say yes it helps or no it doesn’t. It wouldn’t hurt to get an ENT consult and/or an SLP Eval to say for certain if it can be corrected or reduced. My expertise is limited on puberphonia, therefore I am recommending speaking with an ENT

My daughter speaks very loudly, should we visit a speech-language pathologist?
Maybe try getting a hearing evaluation done first to see if she’s having trouble hearing others and herself talking, then see where that takes you
