It is common for a person to be uncertain about their choice of career, on what to pursue in tertiary education. Ms. Yong Ennie was not one of those people. She was very sure that she wanted to be a speech therapist, and was ready to go through ups and downs to be one. And what a fine speech therapist she is today. Her lecturers and her friends would be very proud of her.
DoktorBudak.com is indeed proud to announce that Ms. Yong Ennie will be one of us to provide vital and useful information for parents out there, particularly about speech and language development.
Yong Ennie is very dedicated and brilliant in her work, with lots of good testimonies from referring doctors and parents.
She attained her degree in speech sciences with honours from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. [ BSpeech Sci. (Hons) (UKM) ] Her many roles as a speech-language pathologist includes providing assessment, diagnosis and intervention regarding speech, language and feeding difficulties. She also provides interventions for children with speech and language difficulties. This includes helping a child to communicate via means of speech or other forms of communication such as pictures, gestures, etc.
Ms. Yong Ennie was a volunteer in a early intervention centre for children with special needs for more than year before going to university. Therefore her main interest is in learning disabilities, feeding difficulties, play and parent-child interaction.
It will be of great value to have a speech therapist like Yong Ennie on the panel of DoktorBudak.com

Dear Dr Yong,
Saya ada seorang anak berusia 3thn. Masalah anak saya ialah dia lambat bercakap dan sukar untuk menerima arahan daripada guru taskanya. Guru taska anak saya juga ada menyatakan bahawa anak saya kurang mengambil bahagian dalam sebarang aktiviti yang dijalankan di taska. Justeru itu saya cuba untuk mendapatkan pandangan dan terapi dr doctor untuk anak saya. Diharap agar boleh membantu. Dimana saya boleh mendapatkan maklumat dan khidmat dr doc. Terima kasih.
Dear Hairul,
Khidmat speech therapist boleh diperolehi di semua hospital besar di Malaysia. Sila dapatkan surat rujukan dari doktor untuk mengambil temujanji dengan speech therapist.
Saya risau anak saya berumur 5-6tahun bersekolah tadika, pertuturannya sedikit pelat terutama menyebut r. Di sekolah kurang bercakap kecuali bila ditanya tetapi di rumah sangat peramah. Bila diajar susah faham dan cepat lupa. Apa yang patut saya buat sekarang untuk membantu anak saya
Hai Dr. Yong.
Anak lelaki saya berusia 2 tahun 8 bulan. Dia langsung tidak mahu bercakap dan hanya mengeluarkan bunyi seperti ” ak ak” “uk uk”. Beliau tidak mempunyai masalah pendengaran kerana boleh mendengar arahan dengan baik.Suruh sahaja apa2 dan dia akan buat. Saya tahu dia boleh bercakap kerana kadangkala dia akan mengikut apa yang saya sebut contohnya “papa, mama, ikan,burung, adik” dan bermacam2 perkataaan lagi namun beliau enggan mula bercakap dan sebut dengan sendiri.
Adakah ini faktor genetik kerana abang2 saya juga mula bercakap 4 tahun ke atas.?
Apakah yang saya patut lakukan untuk melatih dia bercakap?
