A:Talking doesn't just happen. Children haveto learn speech gradually; and learning all the speech sounds takes time. Children master speech sounds in a specific sequence, according to maturation of their oral structures and visibility of the sounds. Some sounds like p, b, m, t, d, and n are usually mastered by age three while others like r, th and s may not be correct until the early school- age years. While learning to speak, all children make mistakes and pronounce some sounds incorrectly. You may hear your child substitute one sound for another (ex., "wabbit" for "rabbit"), omit a sound (e.g. "han" for "hand") or distort a sound (e.g. "shlip" for "ship"). Although these are common errors and will probably disappear as a child gets older, they might also be signs of articulation disorders. Simply stated, an articulation disorder exists when a child consistently makes speech sound errors that are not usually made by children of the same age. Distinguishing between simple mispro- nunciation and articulation disorders can be difficult. If you feel that your child might have an articulation problem, you should make an appointment for an evaluation by a Speech- Language Pathologist.

A:Physiotherapists are expertdetectives when it comes to figuring out pain patterns. It is common for pain from postures or activities to go unnoticed when the individual is concentrating on something else (like data on a computer, conversation or sports). In other cases the painful tissue may lie deep within the body and therefore may not have the pain receptor density that is required to give instant feedback, but is sufficiently sensitive to react to inflammatatory chemicals once they have had time to accumulate, often long after the aggravating activity has stopped. This produces a time lapse between the cause and effect making self- assessment very difficult. Your physiotherapist is very skilled at identifying these subtle sources of aggravation.
