You have reminded me that I do better when I integrate activity into my regimen. I feel more in control of my thoughts, my focus and attention increases. |

Hello all,
My name is Dan and I am a Speech Pathologist. I work with many children that have difficulty with both speech and language development challenges and reading challenges. There are a few things about speech that are important to note in terms of knowing if the early signs of trouble indicate future difficulty with learning. First is the distinction between articulation and phonology. Articulation is a speech difference, for example, if your son or daughter puts their tongue between their teeth for the production of /s/ or /z/, this would be a difference that involves retraining the placement of their tongue for the accurate articulation of those sounds. Phonology is a more language based difficulty. These kids are the ones that use a consistent pattern associated with their speech. For instance they may use a 't' or a 'd' in place of their 'k' or 'g' on a consistent basis, commonly saying 'tat' for 'cat.' There is very little that has shown on articulation alone a child will have difficulty in the future with reading, unless it is a result of an underlying phonological processing issue. On the other hand, because phonology (the second example) is a part of language, those children are at a higher risk for developing reading challenges. More so, children that have language specific challenges (trouble expressing themselves) are at the highest risk of challenges with reading acquisition. |

I have always had trouble with speech, comprehension, following one conversation when three are present. In school I would have trouble reading the questions to answer the test, they would seem backwards to me and I would get them wrong. In history I knew all about atomic bombs and on the test that I thought I was going to A's, I failed. Also my thoughts would stop when I'm in the middle of a sentence and I would go on to another subject. If someone owes me money I would tell them,"I will do some work for you so I can pay off that money I owe you." I have had stuttering problems reading the wrong word like, LIBRARY I will read as LAUNDRY. I think I have Dyslexia but I have never been diagnosed with it. I'm 52 years old now but would really like to know if I have Dyslexia. |

Hey Tammymarie49 i am like you i still tend not to understand most of what i have read. Especially questions they are so hard to follow. I was like that at school and one of my teachers actually got me to write an essay on war using mind maps and another essay on war using information i already knew and the mind maps seemed to work. But i am still quite bad at mind maps though. I have been told that i have a lisp. Apparently when i use to sing at school my singing teacher thought i went to speech thearpy becasue i can not pronunvce the letter D when singing, i spent 2 weeks singing anything with a D in it. The worst word for me to sing is wonDerful as the D is not sounded at all. Then when i did my teaching course and was in a primary school the kids thought it was cool that i had a lisp. Excuse me i never knew i had a lisp until it was pointed out to me by my singing teacher when i was 16 years old. |
