A child in speech therapy since age 2 finally got an oral exam that revealed a tongue-tie no previous SLP had caught. Six months after the release, he graduated from therapy.
Seven
Within six months
Since 2 years old
No one's ever looked under my tongue before. 7 Speech language pathologists he had been to and no one had ever looked in his mouth, under his tongue, asked him to move his tongue. What are we doing?
We did some speech stuff. Once the tongue was released and able to actually hit the correct articulatory targets.
The craziest part of it all was that he was able to graduate from speech therapy within six months of starting with me, within six months of his assessment. And this is a kid who had been in therapy since he was 2 years old.
Which is.
Wild, absolutely wild.
