Delayed Speech and Language

A speech and language delay is when a child isn’t developing speech and language at an expected rate. It’s a common developmental problem that affects as many as 10% of preschool children.

Symptoms of a speech and language delay

Your child may have a speech delay if he or she isn’t able to do these things:

Say simple words (such as “mama” or “dada”) either clearly or unclearly by 12 to 15 months of age.
Understand simple words (such as “no” or “stop”) by 18 months of age.
Hearing aids. If your tinnitus is caused by noise-induced or age-related hearing loss, using Hearing Aids s may help improve your symptoms.
Talk in short sentences by 3 years of age.
Tell a simple story at 4 to 5 years of age.

The most common causes of speech delay include:

Hearing loss
Slow development
Intellectual Disability
Psychosocial deprivation (the child doesn’t spend enough time talking with adults).
Being a twin.
Autism (a developmental disorder).
Elective mutism (the child just doesn’t want to talk).
Cerebral palsy (a movement disorder caused by brain damage).

Regular Speech Therapy with Speech and Language stimulation at home can greatly aids in the growth of the individual’s speech and language skills.
