Some information about speech and language delay in children

What is a speech and language delay?
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 they aren’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
Talk in short sentences by 3 years of age
Tell a simple story at 4 to 5 years of age
What causes a speech and language delay?

The most common causes of speech delay include:
Hearing loss
Slow development
Intellectual disability

Other developmental or genetic disorders include:
Psychosocial deprivation (the child doesn’t spend enough time talking with adults)
Autism (a developmental disorder)
Elective mutism (the child just doesn’t want to talk)
Cerebral palsy (a movement disorder caused by brain damage)
Living in a bilingual home also may affect a child’s language and speech. The child’s brain has to work harder to interpret and use 2 languages. So, it may take longer for these children to start using one or both languages they’re learning. It’s not unusual for a bilingual child to use one language for a while.

If your child’s speech is delayed due to a hearing loss, hearing aids or cochlear implants may help your child hear speech. Once your child has access to sound (and speech), they may be able to develop language and even catch up to their hearing peers.

If your child hears and understands language, you can encourage them to speak by talking as much as you can around them. Describe what you’re doing as you do everyday activities. Keep talking. If your child speaks, confirm what they are saying. Always provide positive feedback.

Speech and language delays can be frustrating for parents and children. Children who can’t express their thoughts and emotions are more likely to act out. They anger easily. They may use unexpected behavior to get your attention. Try to remember your child does want to communicate with you. Read to your child and talk as much as you can. Encourage your child to speak. When they try to speak, praise their efforts.

Questions to ask your doctor
Why is my child not talking yet?
Should I talk to my child more to help them figure out how to talk?
Is it normal for my child to not be speaking yet?
My child seems to have trouble understanding what I’m saying. Is it possible they have hearing loss?
Does my child have a developmental disability?
What can I do to help my child speak or understand better?
Do you have any materials I can read about speech and language delay?
Will my child be able to attend school?
Is there an early intervention program available in my area and would it be helpful?
