Karen Young's Expert Contributions
  • How long does it take to recover from a brain tumor?

    You should speak with his Neurologist regarding physical recovery time. If the surgery affected his speech, language, or swallowing, he should be seeing a Speech Pathologist for therapy to ensure optimal, timely success. It completely depends on what part of the brain was affected, if any. Best of luck! READ MORE

  • How do you know when a child has neurological deficits?

    You would need to take them to a neurologist for an assessment. READ MORE

  • Why does my daughter get angry when she can't say words?

    She most likely gets angry because she may not yet have the words to express her emotions, wants, etc. She recognizes she's upset, for example, but doesn't know the vocabulary or have the sounds yet to express that. You can get a simple picture book of emotions to help her and model the words with your own facial expressions. Two is a big age...lots of emotions coinciding with emerging vocabulary and sound development. READ MORE

  • Why is dada usually a child's first word?

    Actually, "mama" is more often the first word spoken, but the debate is whether it is because bilabials are the first sounds (?m?, /b/, and /p/ sounds) or due to the fact that the mother is more often the initial primary caregiver. READ MORE

  • Why does my 2 year old struggle to say words with an "s"?

    Hi. At 2 years old, the /s/ sound is not yet expected. Sounds usually develop in a particular order, for example, in most children, the /b/, /m/, and /p/ develop first. The /s/ sound comes in somewhere between 3 and 7! I have attached a chart for reference. Keep talking to your little one, modeling words, labeling items in stores and on the street, and reading to them. Listen to their babbles and words and repeat them correctly afterward, i.e. if your little one wants you to sit and says, "it"....respond by saying, "Sit? Yes. Mama sits." READ MORE

  • What can I do to get rid of frontal lisp?

    Hi. Focus on keeping your tongue behind your top teeth when producing "s" sounds, and closing your bite a bit more. This may initially be tricky, especially when the "s" is in the medial position of a word, for example " baSeball", or when there is a blend, for example "laSt". With practice, you can achieve this over time. If you want to try articulation therapy, you can locate a Speech Pathologist close to you by visiting ASHA.org. Best of luck. Karen Young, MS, CCC-SLP READ MORE

  • What's the difference between a stammer and stutter?

    Stuttering and stammering are essentially the same thing. "Stammering" is more commonly used in the UK and Canada, while "stuttering" is more commonly used in the US. READ MORE

  • Do children eventually outgrow a lisp?

    How old is your son? Is he missing any teeth? If so, it can create a temporary change in speech, as more air escapes through the gaps. If not, perhaps get an evaluation from a nearby SLP. You can find the closest one at ASHA.org. Good luck! READ MORE

  • What causes children to have a delayed speech?

    There can be many reasons why a child's speech is delayed. Early intervention is extremely important. Please find a licensed Speech and Language Pathologist near you. For assistance, please go to: https://find.asha.org/pro#f:@Provider=[Speech-Language%20Pathologist] READ MORE

  • My son is 3-years-old and isn't talking. What should I do?

    Early intervention is very important. You can find a licensed Speech and Language Pathologist near you at: www.asha.org/profind/ Click "find an SLP", then follow prompts to enter your state and other information. At home, read simple books with your child and ask Wh questions, such as: "Who is holding the ball?", "What color is the sun?", etc while pointing to what you are talking about. Give him a couple of seconds, then give a choice, for example: "Is the sun black or red?" or " Is the boy or dog holding the ball?". When you go places, label things for him and ask him what things are called, ie bananas, apples, etc. Talk about their colors, sizes, etc "This is a big, yellow lemon". "Which lemon is bigger?". Not all sounds are present in 3 year olds, but he should be putting words together and answering basic questions at this age. The Speech Pathologist can help you narrow things down and give you additional things you can do at home with him after assessing him personally. Good luck and try not to worry. You've taken the first step already! READ MORE

  • My daughter talks with a lisp. Can this be corrected?

    Yes! Speech therapy can be utilized to address your daughter's lisp, along with a program for carryover at home. READ MORE

  • My daughter has somewhat of a his when she talks. How can it be corrected?

    Early intervention is imperative when addressing speech and/or language issues. Find an ASHA certified Speech Pathologist who will evaluate your daughter and begin articulation therapy. READ MORE

  • What causes puberphonia in some kids?

    Puberphonia is also known as "functional falsetto". It is characterized by high pitch, breathiness, throat and neck tension, and low intensity. During puberty, the laryngeal mechanism goes through changes, causing the female voice to lower a few semitones, and the male voice to lower at least one octave. When the acoustic changes that regularly occur with puberty do not take place, it results in Puberphonia. Voice therapy is the recommended course of treatment. READ MORE

  • Why is my 4 year old son still unable to speak fluently?

    Often, at this age, children do have the words to get their messages across, but the muscles used for speech production aren't yet capable of keeping up with the speed at which the brain is sending the message. Try asking your child to pause and think about what they want to say, and try again. READ MORE

  • My son has delayed speech. Should I take him to a speech language pathologist?

    Early intervention is paramount. I would highly recommend finding a certified Speech and Language Pathologist, who specializes in birth to three language therapy. The sooner he begins, the less time he will likely need to remain in therapy. READ MORE

  • My daughter speaks very loudly, should we visit a speech-language pathologist?

    How old is your daughter? Is she trying to make her voice heard? Is she trying to keep up with her older brother? Often, this is the case. She might be trying to assert herself if others are speaking over her. If it isn't causing her to have a sore throat, there shouldn't be a cause for concern. You might try speaking more quietly to her, and modeling that lower volume at dinner or wherever she speaks that way. READ MORE
