Language Delays

Language delays occur when a child's ability to develop language skills, such as speaking, understanding, or using words, is slower than typical for their age. This can result from various factors including hearing issues, developmental conditions, or environmental influences. Children with language delays might use fewer words than expected, have difficulty forming sentences, or struggle to understand what others are saying. Early intervention, such as speech therapy, can help improve communication abilities and support their overall development. Recognizing and addressing language delays promptly can make a significant difference in a child's social, academic, and emotional growth.
