Please move if in wrong place pls.

My T thinks I might have a speech and/or language disorder. Does anyone have any experience with this what is the treatment for adults. I can only find limited info when I googled it.
I personally think its brain damage from being repeatedly dropped on my head as a baby and later on being hit the head.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bipoloarartist,

I don't have a speech disorder but I do have some learning disabilities including non-verbal learning disability, and possibly some dyslexia. Somethings things like this can just be genetic, or they can occur after a neurological event like a stroke or a birth injury. Mine is most likely from a birth injury. I didn't get quite enough oxygen when I was being born.

Can you explain what kind of symptoms you have? Or what lead your therapist to believe that you hare having these kinds of issues? Has school or socializing been hard? Do you have a hard time getting out all of the things you are thinking in your head, or sit down to write, and find that you can't remember what you were just thinking. If you can let me know a little more about what's going on I might be able to send you some helpful links. I frequent some other parts of the internet dedicated to this kind of thing.

At any rate if anything is going on, and its seriously affecting your life I would suggest getting some neropsyc testing done if you can afford it. Sometimes if you have insurance, and they don't cover it directly, you can trade some therapy appointments for testing.

My brother is a speech language therapist.
I haven't heard you speak, but your written language seems fine to me.

The treatment is generally one-on-one coaching.

I'm sure the treatment, isn't much different for adults, as it is for kids. .

It certainly, usually, typically neurological. Genetic or environmental.

For myself, and technically all three of my kids have personal experience with speech and language pathologists, it's repeating words, testing different phonetic areas. I still stumble, at times, in speech, as an adult. Stop, focus take your time.
