[quote=Anonymous]I think you should interview speech therapists who work with teens around halting speech.  There are many types of speech "issues" and different ways to working with them.  Articulation can be the only problem, or not using enough breath (causing low tone of voice), or stuttering or....  there are probably 10 other things a real speech therapist could articulate and different types of therapy are used for each speech challenge.

So I wouldn't assume that "all speech therapy is the same" or even "no speech therapists would know how to work with her"

How about if you ASK your daughter if she notices she speaks differently, and if she wants to work on it?  Then you are on her team and you will work together to find ways to solve this.

Honestly, I'm not sure if she were videotaped she would know how to solve the problems. She might see that the speaks in a halting manner, but the question is, how does she solve that?  THAT's what an SLP should be able to answer.  I mean, SLPs work with kids, teens, adults, people who've had traumatic brain injuries, strokes, after someone has had oral surgery, etc.  I bet there are things an SLP would suggest, we just don't know them.
