Lola,

I don't know how to add archives to a post, but go to the home page of

and click on " messages " on the far left.

Under " search " put in " tonal processing " . You will find some great answers there

regarding loud talking. It is common and can be helped with " The Listening

Program " . Janice , who posts quite regularly knows something about it. It

has nothing to do with how well your child hears, but how sound is processed.

Please look into it. The loud talking did not go away in my 9 year old and I

wish I would have used " The Listening Program " a long time ago. Six year olds

are often forgiven for talking inappropriately loud. By age 9 people expect a

child to know when to hush their voice. It's worth the try! Hugs, Joy and

Shyann

My six year old daughter who has apraxia is also very loud. I have always

assumed it was because of apraxia but don't know for sure. She doesn't notice

how loud she is and I find that interesting because she always passes her

hearing tests. I'd also like to hear from others.

Thanks,

My son is dx with apraxia and like your daughter can speak very loud! To the

point that it hurts our ears and I can tell it irritates his peers.

 

He tends to speak louder when he is excited........we just tell him " bring it

down " or give him a signal to alert him.  He too has passed hearing tests.

My daughter talks very very low,and now that shes quite verbal at 12,she tells

me she doesn't know how loud she is.  She actually practices it!  She has no

idea if shes talking loud or soft.  I wish she was a little louder,for her its

poor breath support too from the hypotonia i believe.  We just got the Wii

speak so she can talk with kids on her Wii game,and she has to go right up to

the speaker every time.  Its got to be a processing problem i guess,her hearing

is normal.  Just letting you know since my daughter has told me after 12 years

shes has no idea the loudness or in her Case the softness of her voice.
