If you are new to the Speechie Show, this is a show that I do every week. I do it Monday afternoons on Facebook Live and usually I have a co-host, which is in the form of my computer monitor. Usually I'm talking to my monitor, but I've got another fabulous speech language pathologist on with me and we usually give out about 5 tips on whatever the topic the other speech language pathologist happens to be an expert on. But today, we're doing a solo show. You just get me and I'm answering your questions.
So, go ahead and type your questions in now and I will be answering those as they come in. And also, if you’re on here with us live, make sure you stick around. I am going to do a giveaway at the end of the show. I'm going to give away 2 free months in the speech therapy solution, which is my premium membership site for speech language pathologists. I answer questions in there too. So, if you have more questions, that's definitely where you want to be. So, speechandlanguagekids.com/join will get you more information about the membership. But I will be giving away 2 free months here in just a little bit after we answer the questions.
So, let's jump right in.

Ok, so I'm going to take this in two parts. So, the first question I'm hearing is, we've got stuttering and morphosyntax and sentence structure problems. Which one do you work on?

My child has been in speech therapy since kindergarten and now is in 6th grade. She struggled with articulation. However, she has very muffled speech. She is a louder breather. Sometimes I look over thinking she is asleep when she's just sitting there watching TV or something. I'm guessing these are tied to eachother. Shes been through a workup at hearing and speech as well. Hearing is fine, but they couldn't figure this out either. We've been to an ENT and she does have a deviated septum. They are unsure if it's a link to the muffled speech and we won't find out until corrected (at least age 15 due to still growing). We've felt with many "I don't knows" over the years. Its had a affect on her ability to make friends. Not many kids have the patience to try and understand what she is saying or wait for her to say it. It does take a while to say things. Its almost like listening to a very unsure person talking. She will also be screened for anxiety soon. Her therapist feels that could be a factor. I'm not sure what else could be the cause or what else could help.
