Subject: Re: Tongue function and language acquisition
I have not seen this Virginia but it makes complete sense to me. I am a resource teacher and I have often worked with children with cerebral palsy who would have had reduced oral motor control. For those children phonics - teaching letter sounds - was almost useless as a means of teaching the children to read. We have speculated that when the children could not form the sounds properly, the nthey couldn't discriminate the words properly.

Fascinating. I have read--and this is getting OT--that people who are deaf from birth or early childhood usually do not learn to read above a 4th grade level, unless hearing people around them are using a type of communication called Cued Speech. That is all I know about the topic; please don't ask me anything! It won't help.

Subject: genetics of hypoplasia
Julie was lamenting first seeing mothers with hypoplasia postpartum, when
she might have been able to take steps in pregnancy to maximize her supply.
. . . .
I have a question, though, for Julie and all of you who do detect
hypoplasia prior to delivery. How do you bring the subject up with a woman
who might not suspect that her breasts are anything but normal? We have so
much body shame and objectification and anxiety in our culture anyway, I'm
always concerned about adding breast appearance to the list of things women
dislike about themselves.
Cheers,

That is a good question, and I don't have an answer. I think I can contact Kathleen Huggins, who has done research in this area, and see what she says. She usually sees them after birth, though, so I don't know.
