If you can't find her on Google or People Search, then go in person down to the school district central office, and ask if they will forward a letter from you to her last known address (don't ask for the address...they won't give it to you). \n\nIf they won't do that, then you have to pay one of those people find sites to do some real tracking.

You would be a professional whose mission in life is to help people with articulation problems. You would probably not make a huge amount of money, but would be in demand in private practice as well as for governmental assistance agencies - including school systems and public rehabilitation departments.\n\nThere is a marvelous online site that discusses speech-pathology with parents of children with articulation disorders. The web address is below.\n\nThis is a great career and I hope you explore it further.

I saw a show once, I believe it was 60 minutes.  They were profiling this hearing aid type device that helps a stutterer not to stutter.  Maybe you can tell him to go to a linguist to ask if they have heard of such a thing.  I only saw it that one time and it was a long time ago.\n\nI just looked it up go to: stutteringcontrol.com  the machine is called the fluency master.

See if one of your local universities has a speech department.  They will often treat children for free as part of their training.

Toastmasters - http://www.toastmasters.org/\n\nI heard about them for years, and often would people reccommend them to me. I had lots of excuses:\n"I'm an instructor! I talk in front of people all day!"\n"I am too tired when I get off work to add something else"\n"I took Speech class in school"\n\nWhen I finally got around to going I was amazed - it worked! A few tips -\n* Try different clubs as a visitor until you find one that fits. Each club is run by the members - which means that each club is a little different.\n* Once you join, make a committment to stay at least long enough to finish the first book. It will help you work through the rough spots. Because Toasmasters is ongoing, there is no "end" like there would be with a class.\n* Toastmasters really helps you work through your specific issues whatever they are. The variety in my club is not unusual: IT guys, non-native speakers, trainer/instructors, retired, unemployed, FT employed, student...etc. Everyone starts from thier own place.

It isn't that simple. There's a reason why speech therapists must have a MASTER'S DEGREE to provide therapy. The person with the stroke must get therapy from someone truly trained to provide it.\n\nIf the stroke victim has inadequate or discontinued insurance, and does not yet qualify for Medicaid and/or Medicare, then funding for this therapy may be a problem. However...\n\nFind the closest university with a Speech Pathology program, and sign up the stroke victim there. Usually, univeristy programs will be discounted, or even free in some cases, because the therapy is being provided by closely supervised practicum students rather than licensed therapists (like having an intern work on you at a teaching hospital).\n\nIf the stroke victim has insurance that covers it, or is receiving Medicaid or Medicare, there are licensed therapy providers available. They may provide you with exercizes to do at home, but the selection of those exercizes, and the intensive therapy, must be provided by the speech therapist.\n\nhttp://www.asha.org/default.htm

First, has a therapist ever talked with you about social anxiety or a social phobia? Also are you in a different culture than the one in which you grew up? \nfrom your post I noticed your language skills were indicative of english as a second language, are you socialising with ppl you CAN communicate with? \nIf all else fails, practice makes perfect... ask questions, "Jill, are you going to get your degree?" "Pat, how's Tommy" "Oh, I didn't know you were in the worship band" etc...

go to www.apa.org (if you are americam) or www.bps.org (if you are english) and click on 'find a psychologist'.\n\nThey will find some in your area, and you will know these psychologists are properly qualified. Even if there is not specifically a speech therapist mentioned, ring one of the psychologits listed in your area up and ask for a recommendation...\n\nTreatment for stammering/speech disorders are quite effective, so all the best!

I assume your talking about a speech and language pathologist aide? I know one of my friends went from being a regular special ed. aide to a speech aide and she was very happy with the pay increase, but I am not sure how much it is in different areas. I know in my school (all special ed) the speech dept. has a very rewarding job as the kids we work with require so much patience and creativity to help them achieve that when they do achieve something in speech, like learning to use a communication device or learning a new sign or even learning how say a word, or even just activating a capability switch for the first time for some of our really severe kids who can't move at all...it is incredibly rewarding not just for the speech dept people but for the whole classroom/school! I can't honestly say whether or not you are treated like an aide or not...it depends on who you work with because some of the speech therapists prefer to do the treatment themselves while other speech therapist have the aides actively involved with all their student's treatments at all times. It just depends on where and who you work with.

I met someone new and helped her return to writing after she had a head injury, using speech recognition software.  She had been a well-known journalist and I'm hoping that she can return to work soon.  Besides, talking to your computer and watching it write, is fun!
