Tami El Habachi's Expert Contributions
  • Should a 3 year old be talking?

    By your child should have at least 450 words and using 2-3 word phrases. If she is not, it is recommended that she be evaluated by a Speech-Language Pathologist. READ MORE

  • My wife's face and neck muscles tense when trying to speak?

    Wow! You two have been through a lot. So, in short, I am unable to diagnose or say specifically what is going on with your wife. With that said, you have indicated that your wife has hypothyroid disease which can result in voice disorders. I would recommend seeing a Speech Pathologist that is a voice specialist. They can give you a much broader range of assistance than say a Speech Pathologist that deals with strokes. Hope this helps. READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture help with speech issues?

    No. READ MORE

  • My child is developmentally delayed?

    It means that given 100 children, your child is performing 79th, basically and only 21 children performed worse. Most schools consider having a 50% delay significant to justify special education services, i.e., speech therapy through an IEP (individual education plan). In speech production, most children with this percent of delay, would be difficult to understand. READ MORE

  • Does an audiologist treat speech problems?

    No, a Speech-Language Pathologist treats speech difficulties. There are some Speech-Language Pathologists that are also certified in audiology. READ MORE

  • Is it normal for a 4 year old to not speak clearly?

    By age 4 most children are at least 75% intelligible. If your daughter is difficult to understand, I would recommend having her assessed by a speech-language pathologist. READ MORE

  • Does hearing loss cause speech delay?

    Yes, a hearing loss can result in a speech delay. READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture help with speech problems?

    No, acupuncture may assist allergies. Speech difficulties should be assessed and treated by a Speech-Language Pathologist. READ MORE

  • At what age do late talkers talk?

    Between 12-24 months of age most children will have developed between 10-20 words. This is based on language normative data. If your child has had multiple ear infections, it may be more on the side of articulation. In other words, they may have the words, but you can't understand them. When in doubt, I always recommend that you contact a Speech-Language Pathologist to complete an evaluation. READ MORE

  • Is it normal for a 4 year old to stutter?

    Some children go through periods of dysfluency especially at the age of 4; however, if the "stuttering" impacts her communication with others, then I would definitely recommend an evaluation be completed by a Speech-Language Pathologist. READ MORE
