| Any suggestions...anyone? Caroline, Just discovered your interesting and down to earth web site. I'm an SLP (in the US) in the PS serving the 3-5 population. About 90% of my work involves assessment and conferencing. I spend some time in direct intervention too. At this point, the biggest difficulty involves complaints colleges regarding the amount of time recommended for therapy. Indiana has no case load limits. Many of my co-workers are facing huge caseloads in addition to the little ones that I send them. Do you or anyone else have suggestions for the immediate problem. There are some issues that cannot be solved in the present structure. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest...SLP
RESPONSE: That's tough |

| Looking for a speech-language
pathologist I am looking for speech / language help for my 6 year old boy. We live in Queens, New York and hope that you might have some knowledge of an accredited institution that can help. I think the first step is to have him evaluated to determine what is the nature/root of his delayed language development. Please if you do not know of any in the immediate area some direction as to other sources of help would be greatly appreciated.

| Articulation (and other)
therapy ideas I'm a school-based SLP (B.S.) working on master's degree in early childhood special education. After 10 years of traveling and doing articulation therapy, I have hit burnout and need new ideas that are not going to cost me $$$!. Thanks for the site. RESPONSE: Sites...
As stated in the disclaimer, all speech-language pathology intervention is based on individual assessment. And all speech-language pathology activities need to be individualised for each and every client by a qualified SLP, or by a student who is being supervised by such an SLP. There is no such thing as do-it-yourself or one-size-fits-all speech therapy! That does not mean that parents, family members and others don't come up with brilliant ideas for implementing therapy. They do! You might find something here: tips, ideas and freebies. |

| Therapy resources on the Internet
Love reading your articles-specifically on phonological therapy. I have been a practicing speech-language pathologist for over 25 years and used to utilize the traditional method of "articulation" therapy. Request input from you as to where on the internet I can gather info on phonological therapy ideas to collaborate and use with preschool children (head start) and older children. In addition any language enrichment activities (games, etc.) to use with other "disorders" Thanks RESPONSE:

| Tongue-tie
I am a school speech language pathologist, and have a 5th grader with a very restricted lingual frenulum. It appears to impact his speech as much of his articulation is rapid and imprecise. In addition, he stutters. His caregiver is under the impression, after speaking with her dentist, that he needs to get his tongue clipped and his stuttering will be cured. Knowing that stuttering occurs at the level of the vocal folds, I know it is not so simple. Not being a medical based SLP I am curious about who I should refer him to see regarding if he should have surgery. Should it be an ENT? All the literature focuses on surgery for young children. Is a frenectomy performed often on an older child? Any advice you could give me on this matter would be much appreciated as this child's core meeting is coming up, and I want to do what's right for him. Thank you RESPONSE: Tongue-tie assessment
