Has anyone seen a speech therapist? Are they helpful?

Question

Particularly for a person with A.D.D?

Answer 1

Yeth.

Answer 2

I don't know anyone with A.D.D. that needed a speech therapist.

However, my mother had a stroke and needed one. Some speech therapists are good. They do help but you need to have PATIENCE. They worked with my mom on concentration skills mostly (she didn't lose her ability to speak). She simply can't concentrate on one thing for very long now. They had her do a lot of simple math problems, play Uno or other simple games that required her to pay attention. She gets distracted easily. During these games or tasks after a while they talked to her while she was doing the tasks to see if she could multitask. They tried to get her to be able to be doing something and answer a question they asked every now and then; and then go back to what she was doing without her forgetting what she was working on.

They do work, in my opinion. It may start out slowly at first but whoever goes will progress. If you are taking someone, I would suggest you sit off to the side or in the back QUIETLY unless the therapist asks you to participate. If you cause too much noise or try to participate without the therapist's permission the patient will have a harder time concentrating on the task at hand.

GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 3

I had speech therapy for several years during middle school and found it helped me a lot. You should start as early as possible and ask the counselors you interview if they have experience dealing with people with A.D.D. Good luck!
