Anyone know if speech impediments are hereditary? Idk why they would be but I’m curious or at least…

More than likely a learned speech pattern if the parent has it, however depending on the nature of the impediment it certainly could be related to a learning disability — some of which are hereditary.

@ek620, his dad has the impediment and I’m 99% sure the learning disability too and my learning isn’t all that great either. The speech impediment is pretty bad and he’s obviously had it forever and he’s 26 so now he just kind of rolls into whatever he’s saying whether it’s right or not or just gives up its so bad. I’ve just been thinking about it lately because of how his dads speech is and how Noah has been saying things(I know babies and toddlers speech isn’t great but his seems different)

@ek620, it’s just put me into curiosity

@noahs.mommy, It’s probably too early to say given his young age, but certainly something to keep track of as he gets older.

@ek620, yeah I figured it is too early but it’s definitely in the front of my mind. Thanks!
