7/2/2019

2 Comments

 
Not all toddlers who are late to start using words will simply grow out of it. Which of the following are risk factors that suggest a child may have ongoing difficulty with language?

  1. Being a “quiet” baby
  2. Having a history of ear infections
  3. Using mostly nouns (people, places, things), and not many verbs (action words)
  4. Having a family history of communication delay, learning or academic difficulties
  5. Having difficulty understanding language
  6. Not using many gestures to communicate
  7. Being born on a Thursday

Answer: 1-6 are risk factors
Early intervention leads to better outcomes. If you have concerns about your child’s speech and language development, call for a free phone consultation.
