Speech Disorders and Impediments

Speech is often considered a gift and miraculous because it enables humans to express thoughts, emotions, and ideas, facilitating complex communication and connection. This ability allows for the sharing of knowledge, culture, and experiences across generations, fostering understanding and cooperation. Additionally, the intricate processes involved in producing and comprehending speech highlight the remarkable capabilities of the human brain, making it a unique and powerful aspect of our existence.

Transfer of dominance after brain injury in children refers to the phenomenon where the functions of a damaged brain area are taken over by an undamaged part of the brain, often the opposite hemisphere. This process can lead to the recovery of skills and abilities that were impaired due to the injury. Children's brains are particularly adaptable due to their plasticity, allowing for more effective reorganization and compensation for lost functions compared to adults. However, the extent and success of this transfer can vary based on factors such as the age of the child, the nature of the injury, and the timing of rehabilitation.

Speech impediments, also referred to as speech disorders occur when normal speech is disrupted. It can be developmental in that most children will generally go through a stage of disfluency i.e stammering, fronting (cat is pronounced as tat) or lisping and gliding r (red pronounced as wed). Certain sounds develop at different stages of childhood and that is why these developmental errors occur. However, if these persist beyond the appropriate age, you should seek a speech and language therapist who will diagnose and treat the speech disorder.

In addition to treatments such as a feeding tube, a person with ALS would likely enlist the help of a speech therapist to help him or her determine ways in which he or she can maintain vocal control.

Yes. Some speech difficulties are anxiety-related, such as stuttering.

Believe it or not...James Earl Jones (Dark Vader...Star Wars) has/had a stutter problem. Others: Bruce Willis (actor) Winston Churchill (statesman) Bill Walton (NBA player / commentator) John Melendez (Tonight Show announcer) Jimmy Stewart (actor) Bob Newhart (actor) Mel Tillis (singer) Rob Bloom (writer) John Stossel (commentator) Alan Rabinowitz (writer) Nick Brendon (actor) Yeah, James Earl Jones does stutter. He even stutters in one of his movies. I can't remember the name, but he plays a police sheriff who stutters. marilyn monroe stuttered.

There are various types but all involve the inability to form or pronounce words. A common impediment is stuttering.

All children need to express themselves. There is no difference in a child who stutters/stammers and a child who does not. We should be good listeners and allow all children to learn to express their thoughts.

"No. It actually helps a person who has problems with stuttering. There are some famous singers who are stutters, but it doesn't show in their singing."

Tongue tie is not stuttering. As someone with tongue tie, I can say that a case that is minor to moderate should not keep you from singing but some vocalizations in certain languages will not sound right and all you may get will be an approximate sound rather than the exact pronunciation.

Tongue tie will also affect your ability to sing different notes quickly because the tongue is rooted further along the tongue than for most. So we can do legato but not staccato well. Your results may vary.
