I have a speech impediment that I’ve had my whole life. I have met other people with the same thing. JoJo Siwa actually has it.

I’m wondering what it’s called and why it’s happening? My mom can’t really describe it. She said maybe that I sound like I have something in my mouth.

It doesn’t bother me. I think it’s cool that JoJo Swia has it.

I don’t know how to be more specific. I can’t really describe it.

There's a multitude of speech disorders, apraxia probably being one of the more severe. I, personally believe that they are neurological in why they exist. Two of my sons have had extensive speech therapy through the school system that started with early intervention recommended by their pediatrician. One of the two continues with speech in the school and I've had a change in health insurance and have been encouraged to try again for outside services.

I'm not so sure what Jojo has specifically.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
