As a Speech-Language Pathologist ("Speech Therapist"), Pamela L. Beaumont, M.S., CCC-SLP provides online pediatric speech and language screening, assessment, diagnosis, and intervention services for individuals with suspected (or previously diagnosed) speech and language disorders and delays. She helps people with articulation disorders and delays learn the correct way to produce sounds when speaking and helps people with language disorders and delays improve vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, social language, and verbal expression skills. She quickly builds an excellent rapport with children and adults via teletherapy, utilizes computer software to enhance learning in pediatric speech therapy sessions, incorporates play therapy techniques when working with young children to make learning fun, utilizes simple signs to facilitate the development of language when appropriate, and teaches individuals to use assistive devices to communicate when speech is not an effective means of communication.
Typically, Speech-Language Pathologist Teletherapists need to to be licensed in the state they reside in, in the state they are physically providing services from, and in the state where the client is physically located. If a client travels out of a state that the teletherapist is licensed in, services cannot be provided until the client returns. Each state may have slightly different "rules" regarding the provision of teletherapy services, but those are the general guidelines.
Pamela L. Beaumont M.S., CCC-SLP is a properly credentialed Speech Therapist and has over 29 years of experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist. She is certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and is currently licensed to practice in FL, MA, CA, GA, WA, CO, and HI. She also has the State of Florida Department of Education Educator Certificate (Professional Speech Language Impaired Grades K-12), State of Washington Education Certificate (School Speech Language Pathologist), and State of Colorado Special Services Provider [School Speech/Language Pathologist (0-21)] Certificate. In addition, she received two ACE Awards from ASHA (July 2018-2021 & August 2020-2023).
Since hearing plays such a crucial role in speech and language development, all those suspected of having a speech and/or language disorder or delay need to have their hearing tested. Pure-tone hearing screenings are strongly recommended. [Since The Speech & Language Connection cannot conduct hearing screenings online, it is recommended that parents (or guardians) consult with a pediatrician.] Individuals who are too young for this type of screening, as well as those who do not pass such hearing screenings, need to be referred to an audiologist for an evaluation. Individuals with ear infections, chronic upper respiratory infections, frequent illnesses, or allergies should receive a medical evaluation, as well as an audiological evaluation, prior to the start of speech and/or language services to rule out the possibility of a hearing loss. Even mild hearing losses can have a significant impact on speech and language development and communication.
Otitis media is an inflammation of the middle ear.
Acute otitis media (commonly referred to as an "ear infection") is an infection of the middle ear. It can be treated with antibiotics, but fluid may remain in the middle ear once the infection is gone. In the case of chronic ear infections, surgery may be a treatment option (i.e., myringotomy and insertion of pressure equalizing tubes).
Otitis media with effusion is an inflammation of the middle ear with the presence of fluid that is not infected (serous otitis media). It can be treated by waiting for the fluid to go away with regular professional health care monitoring (this may take 3-6 months), with antibiotics, or surgery.
Although signs of otitis media may include ear drainage, fever, complaints of ear pain, pulling on ear, irritability, and poor sleep, when a child has otitis media with effusion often there are no symptoms! Furthermore, whenever there is fluid in the middle ear instead of air, it may cause a mild or moderate, temporary conductive hearing loss. Sometimes there is no change in hearing, but this is definitely something to monitor, especially when young children are learning to talk or are showing signs of delayed speech and language development.
