Hi! I'm not sure if she has gone back to work at Carolinas Medical Center or not. Last I heard she was working for the birth to three program in NC. I agree she is amazing! If you call the outpatient speech path department at CMC, they will know. When I called, she was one of 2 people who did tactile cueing, or PROMPT therapy.

really fascinating. Can you add something in the description about what was the speech issue before and how long this process takes?

[cathchrismon]

@Beowulf46 WE had about 10 sessions with her before she retired. Once she left, we worked with other therapists, but she was the critical part of the puzzle!

This is so inspiring! I'm studying early childhood education, but after that I'm definitely studying to be a speech therapist! :D:D

And yes I am a male.

@TipsyCleavagePenguin So glad it touched you. Once my kids are a little bigger, I'm thinking of doing the same thing. There surely are not enough of them...

Great video, who is this therapist? Where does she work? thanks for sharing!!!!!

[cathchrismon]

@lisamark777 She doesn't work in speech therapy anymore, as far as I know. She was at the Rehab Center at Carolinas Medical Center. What a gift she was!

I am loving the sound of I guess it's mom in the background. The joy of parents when their kid's finally make new sounds is priceless.

Just to clarify, everything is not "free". It is paid for by the taxpayers. Just so those folks who go around whining about "obama" and "socialism" understand. Free healthcare and free social services are not free. They are paid for by your neighbors.

@redredwyn29 Not all children who receive speech therapy are autistic. That's why.

LOVE THIS! I always wanted to be a speach pathologist. This video makes me want to go back to school!

@DavedeCalmer Tactile cues given by a Speech Path during therapy with a child are a very important part of therapy. For younger children it helps build neural pathways to help the brain remember the movements of the muscles for future sound productions. For some children, the muscles around the mouth have never been used before for speaking and they need to be cued in by touch (tactile cues) which muscle needs to contract to produce a particular sound. Technique are good for the child's progress
