[/ QUOTE ] he works for a public high school in the SF bay area. he makes a teacher's salary, but I think there was some talk of his district bumping the sp's pay to counselor level. |

My biggest question is can I be sure that the therapist will be able to significantly help my problem before I pay him a lot of money? Are most speech impediments "curable" with treatment? [/ QUOTE ] I'll bump the thread in a few days after I talk to him |

Re: Talking About Speech Impediments
There's a particular speech impediment/affect that I hear a lot, but I can never seem to find out what it's called. If anyone is familiar with Phil Bourque, who does color commentary on the radio for Penguins games, what's his deal? Is there a name for the way he talks?

I know it's treatable in really young children, but I've always thought that once you reach your teen years you're pretty much SOL. |

We all have our issues - I limp in 3-legged fashion.
Good news is you can overcome your lisp with practice & patience. Bob Dole overcame his 'incurable' stuttering by fluttering his eyelids uncontrollably when he speaks. Now his speech is perfectly normal. |
