E-x-c-u-s-e excuse t-h-e the -w-a-y way I t-a-l-k talk, b-u-t but I s-a-t sat i-n in o-n on t-o-o too m-a-n-y many s-e-s-s-i-o-n-s sessions o-f of s-p-e-e-c-h speech t-h-e-r-a-p-y therapy f-o-r for m-y my s-o-n son. A-n-d and n-o-w now I’m s-u-f-f-e-r-i-n-g suffering f-r-o-m from S-p-e-e-c-h T-h-e-r-a-p-y S-y-n-d-r-o-m-e Speech Therapy Syndrome.
T-h-i-s this i-s is a s-y-n-d-r-o-m-e syndome i-n in w-h-i-c-h which p-a-t-i-e-n-t-s patients f-e-e-l feel a c-o-m-p-u-l-s-i-v-e compulsive n-e-e-d need t-o to s-o-u-nd sound o-u-t out w-o-r-d-s words. M-y my p-r-o-g-n-o-s-i-s prognosis i-s is n-o-t not g-o-o-d good.
E-x-p-e-r-t-s experts t-h-i-n-k think I w-i-l-l will n-e-e-d need e-x-t-e-n-s-i-v-e extensive s-p-e-e-c-h speech t-h-e-r-a-p-y therapy.
You kill me!
Did you see the King’s Speech? You so reminded me of that film.
That’s hilarious! As each one of my kids passed through that “stuck” on words stage I thought I would lose my mind. God has the funniest ways of building our patience doesn’t He?
That is so funny! You know, when I was a teacher in Seoul, Korea I had to speak VERY slowly and enunciate every word….Wouldn’t you know it, it took me nearly two years before I could speak normally after returning home!!!
This literally had me laughing out loud!
I am cracking up!!
Funny!I thought I’d have speech defect after reading this.
Now I’m stuttering, haha!
H-o-w d-a-r-l-i-n-g o-f a p-o-s-t.
HILARIOUS!!!! Having traveled this road with our daughter, I can totally relate! Laugh out loud HILARIOUS!!!
T-h-a-n-k-s Thanks!
Would love to see a vlogger post of this, ha! It’s sort of like when talking with a non-native English speaker, and you automatically talk like a robot/moron! Lol!
You’re so funny! On a more serious note, I hope your son’s making progress with his sessions
Unfortunately he still mumbles a lot! But his speech therapist has declared him fit for speech.
This was a really touching post. I think a lot of us as mom’s need someone to ask us that very question. I love that you were able to view your son’s difficulty in a different light. I think this post will stick with me. Thanks for sharing.
