Tami El Habachi's Expert Contributions
  • Is speech delay fixable?

    Speech and language delays can have long term effects on overall academic success and even socialization. Without knowing your case, there is no way to say if it is "fixable". Recommend seeing a speech-language pathologist to address her issues. READ MORE

  • When should I take my daughter to a doctor for late talking?

    Instead of seeing a doctor regarding a speech delay, contact a Speech-Language Pathologist for an evaluation or screening. Because she is 2, you can contact your State's Early Intervention program and request an evaluation. By law they have to provide this. They will tell you if your daughter actually has a delay and if she qualifies for speech services through them. If her delay isn't severe, they may recommend private therapy to help with getting her caught up. READ MORE

  • Will late talking fix itself?

    With Covid, I am finding that a lot of 2-year-olds are delayed in their speech and language development. With that said, we really don't know if your child is delayed or disordered. I would recommend an evaluation to determine her skills and go from there. READ MORE

  • How can a speech pathologist help my son?

    Working with a Speech Pathologist can help with identifying the cause of the /r/ distortion. Many times tongue positioning and oral strength play a role in remediating the /r/ sound. /r/, /s/ and /l/ tend to be some of the hardest sounds to remediate and can require long term therapy. The speech pathologist can provide exercises, demonstrate and model correct production of sounds, so that they can be carried over at the word, phrase and sentence level. READ MORE

  • Can a child overcome stuttering?

    There is no cure for stuttering. Learning strategies, removing physical concomitants and learning triggers are the best strategies that a Speech Pathologist can teach your child. READ MORE

  • How can I get my 3-year-old to talk?

    Without knowing what else may be going on with your daughter, I would recommend having an evaluation done on your child. I find that parents often tell me that their 2 and 3 year olds aren't talking, when in actuality, it's either a combination of language and speech or simply the child has difficulty producing sounds. READ MORE

  • How long is the treatment for delayed speech?

    There are too many factors that play into determining the appropriate time frame for speech therapy including your child's specific makeup. No Speech Pathologist will give you a specific time, as it is just not possible to determine that. READ MORE

  • Can speech therapy cure stuttering?

    There is no cure for stuttering. Speech Pathologist can provide strategies to help reduce actual stuttering. READ MORE

  • What can cause not talking?

    There are many things that can result in a child not talking. It is best to have her evaluated by a Speech-Language Pathologist. READ MORE

  • What treatments are effective for late talkers?

    I recommend that you have your daughter evaluated by a speech-language pathologist. READ MORE

  • Do boys talk late?

    Boys are more likely to have speech and language delays than girls; however, developmental norms still apply. By age 2, your child should be using two-word phrases. READ MORE

  • Can you help with speech stuttering?

    Yes, speech therapy can address stuttering and provide strategies to help with fluency. READ MORE

  • My son still can't pronounce his "r's" properly. Would therapy help him?

    If your child is 5 years of age or older, then developmentally, he should be producing the sound. In answer to the question, will therapy help, yes but there are several factors that play into this. The /r/ error is one of the hardest sounds to remediate because you can't see where the tongue should be placed. Also, if your child has a myofunctional disorder, then progress can be delayed as well. School therapy is certainly an option, but I typically recommend parents obtain private as well since school therapy will only address what they view as educationally acceptable. Also, services through the school are typically not one on one but in a group. Feel free to reach back out to me if you would like more information. READ MORE

  • What can be done to help my 5 year old son speak more clearly?

    General strategies that you can explore are modeling words for your child. Practicing difficult sounds and speaking slowly and clearly to your child. Without knowing your child's specific issues, no further advice can be provided. Recommend, seeking out a speech therapist to evaluate and treat your child both in the school system and through private sources. READ MORE

  • My voice is extremely low. What can I do to enhance it?

    Speech therapy can help with this. Recommend consultation from a speech-language pathologist. READ MORE

  • Do I have dysphonia?

    Recommend seeking out a vocologist to address any voice concerns that you have. READ MORE

  • Can you prevent speech delay?

    Not really. Modeling, imitating and reading to your child are the best ways to stimulate language development. READ MORE

  • Should I see a doctor for a sudden speech stuttering?

    Yes, this could be a side effect of medication or a neurological condition. READ MORE

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

    Yes. Depending on her abilities she may be appropriate for myofunctional therapy and speech therapy or just speech therapy. Recommend having her evaluated by Speech-Language Pathologist that also does myofunctional therapy. READ MORE

  • How long does speech therapy take for late talkers to work?

    There is no easy answer for this as it really depends on your child. Meaning how well they learn, how much of a delay they have, what areas they have delays in, etc. Even once your child is evaluated, there's no guarantee of time. READ MORE
