For my son
He’s 10 and doesn’t speak clearly. I think it’s mainly because he’s anxious sometimes and the words come out too fast.
When he was younger he did go for speech therapy but he hasn’t had any for a while.

Looking for a male recommendation who is patient and a happy person who is highly recommended.

If it’s because he’s anxious then he needs a social worker not a speech therapist

I wonder if he could be helped by someone like Yanky Kaufman, who is a stuttering specialist.

I'm a speech therapist. Based on what you wrote, is he a clutterer? Google the symptoms. It's not stuttering.

It’s not stuttering. Does he help with other speech issues ?

He speaks too fast and not clear . Years ago we were focusing on spacing words. I’m not sure that he has all the symptoms of clutterer.

He is specifically asking for a male therapist after having “speech morahs” for many years.

I don't know.
I've heard alot about him because he's a close relative of a close relative.
You could call and ask, I'm sure he would be honest with you. Or could perhaps give you recommendations.

I know a phenomenal male speech therapist whose focus is language and communication rather than the technical sounds of speech.
If you think this is something your son may benefit from you can pm me.

You're right.
My son uses him. I don't like to post personal info under my screen name.

I'll change to anonymous and please delete me SN from your quote.

His name is Mutty Kornfeld 9175867201
He's very honest and he'll tell you if he thinks he can help you or not. Very goal oriented and great with kids (and adults).

My son is a few years older than yours.
He used to work in my boys school many years ago in Brooklyn.

That can be caused be ADHD. Was he ever evaluated?

He does not have any ADHD symptoms at all.
He is a very calm, well behaved and focused child.
