    • Respond to sounds, gurgles, and gestures a baby makes
    • Repeat what a child says and add to it
    • Talk about what a child sees
    • Ask questions and listen to the answers
    • Look at or read books
    • Tell stories
    • Sing songs or share rhymes

    Speech Disorders
    You may see problems with an interruptions in the flow or rhythm of speech, such as a stutter.  There could also be problems with the way that sounds are formed, or the pitch, volume, or quality of the voice.  Speech sounds can also be difficult.  For example, the word "see" may be spoken when the word "ski" was meant to be said.  The "l" and "r" sounds might also be tricky to say.  

    Language Disorders
    This is an impairment in the ability to understand and/or use words in context, both verbally and non-verbally. You might see the improper use of words and their meanings, the inability to express ideas clearly, inappropriate grammatical patterns, reduced vocabulary, or the inability to follow directions. Children may also hear or see a word but not be able to understand what it means. They might also have difficulty getting others to understand what they are trying to communicate. ]]>     2019-07-09 01:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/arielm_rodriguez13/u8qimq2qmav8/wish/370571425     Incidence arielm_rodriguez13 https://padlet.com/arielm_rodriguez13/u8qimq2qmav8/wish/370572685
  • Language disorders may be related to other disabilities such as mental retardation, autism, or cerebral palsy.
  • It is estimated that communication disorders (including speech, language, and hearing disorders) affect one of every 10 people in the United States.

    There are two main types: Acquired and Childhood.

    Acquired Apraxia of Speech can affect any age, but often occurs in adults.  It's caused by damage to the parts of the brain that are involved in speaking.  It can result from a stroke, head injury, tumor, or other illness that affects the brain.

    Childhood Apraxia of Speech is present at birth.  The causes are not well understood, but children with this disorder often have a familial history of communication disorders or learning disabilities.

    Children with APD might not recognize subtle sounds in words. The cause is unknown, but in children, it may be associated with conditions such as dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, autism, or developmental delay.]]>     2019-07-09 02:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/arielm_rodriguez13/u8qimq2qmav8/wish/370576355     arielm_rodriguez13 https://padlet.com/arielm_rodriguez13/u8qimq2qmav8/wish/370577291 2019-07-09 02:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/arielm_rodriguez13/u8qimq2qmav8/wish/370577291 Types of Speech and Language Disorders arielm_rodriguez13 https://padlet.com/arielm_rodriguez13/u8qimq2qmav8/wish/370577555 2019-07-09 02:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/arielm_rodriguez13/u8qimq2qmav8/wish/370577555 arielm_rodriguez13 https://padlet.com/arielm_rodriguez13/u8qimq2qmav8/wish/370577829 2019-07-09 02:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/arielm_rodriguez13/u8qimq2qmav8/wish/370577829 What is this Padlet All About? arielm_rodriguez13 https://padlet.com/arielm_rodriguez13/u8qimq2qmav8/wish/370577919 Learning all that you need to know about Speech and Language disorders can be an incredibly daunting task, especially if you've never done anything like it before!
