1.When should children go to the speech therapist?

There are indicators and symptoms that parents can observe in their children, for example:

-When my son speaks it is difficult for me to understand him -He only communicates with signs -Only those of us at home understand him -If you have any trouble pronouncing a sound -When he speaks he skips some sound or puts another one in place of the corresponding sound. -If you get hoarse frequently -If you breathe through your mouth -If you notice that you have hearing problems -If you have any reading and writing problems

2.How is the treatment in children?

We work through games and activities that they like , so we achieve the objectives we propose in the treatment in a more enjoyable way.

3.How can a speech therapist help a child? To what extent can language disorders be treated?

It depends on the problem we are facing, some children with help and work can improve and get on the level of their peers , however there are other children who improve and little by little they achieve their goals.

4.In what other neurological diseases can the intervention of a Speech Therapist be essential?

Cerebral palsy, rare diseases, ASD, Down syndrome, language delays, among others.

5 How long have you been using the VICON Method in your center?

We started with this method in November 2019

6 How has the implementation of the VICON Method been in your patients?

It has been very easy, since the parents always asked me for tasks to work on at home and it is a good tool to work with them from home and we know that in the morning, at lunch and at dinner we are reinforcing objectives that are worked on in therapy .

7 How has the children's receptivity to the VICON Method been?

It has been very good, it is very worth it because the children do not realize that they are working and the parents are delighted because they see that they can do something from home.

8 Could you tell a little about the results that the VICON Method has offered in your treatment?

The results have been very positive, I have seen children who could not stand attention for even 2 minutes and now sit and work for 20-30 minutes. Also children who have not developed oral language repeat words that are in the videos.

9 How do children react to music therapy?

They love it, there are children who know all the songs , and those who do not yet speak or have not developed oral language, hum and make signs.

11 Have you evaluated the VICON Method in your therapy?

I stick with it, since there are times in therapy we get stuck and I have seen that with this method in these cases we overcome this and continue meeting objectives.

It is an instrument that, if properly directed with speech therapy, we can get much more than just the therapy itself.
