What are the various types of speech disorders?

Asked by Wiki User

Speech impediments, also referred to as speech disorders occur when normal speech is disrupted. It can be developmental in that most children will generally go through a stage of disfluency i.e stammering, fronting (cat is pronounced as tat) or lisping and gliding r (red pronounced as wed). Certain sounds develop at different stages of childhood and that is why these developmental errors occur. However, if these persist beyond the appropriate age, you should seek a speech and language therapist who will diagnose and treat the speech disorder.

All children need to express themselves. There is no difference in a child who stutters/stammers and a child who does not. We should be good listeners and allow all children to learn to express their thoughts.

Does being tongue tied affect singing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"No. It actually helps a person who has problems with stuttering. There are some famous singers who are stutters, but it doesn't show in their singing."

Tongue tie is not stuttering. As someone with tongue tie, I can say that a case that is minor to moderate should not keep you from singing but some vocalizations in certain languages will not sound right and all you may get will be an approximate sound rather than the exact pronunciation.

Tongue tie will also affect your ability to sing different notes quickly because the tongue is rooted further along the tongue than for most. So we can do legato but not staccato well. Your results may vary.

What are examples of primary and secondary securities?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A primary security is issued directly by a corporation to an investor. For example, a share of common stock issued directly by a company to you, an investor, is a primary security. A secondary security is one that is issued by a financial intermediary. For example, when you are investing in a mutual fund, you're investing in a secondary security - the issuing corporation sells its stock to the mutual fund, and you buy a share of the fund, not a direct share of stock from the issuing corporation. Some other examples of primary securities: Common stocks, corporate bonds, US Government bonds Secondary: Mutual Funds, money market funds, commercial paper, Certificate of Deposits
