How Can Parents Help? Focus on communication. Imitate sounds and gestures with your baby. Read to your child. You should start reading when your child is a baby.  Use everyday situations. Talking your way through the day will help build on your child’s speech and language.

Early language development is an important part of the foundation for a child’s education. When they don’t speak as early or use words to communicate, it can be difficult for them to understand what’s going on and learn from others in their class. Some children who are late talkers experience symptoms that may seem like autism spectrum disorder; however, most catch up with other kids by the time school starts because this condition isn’t related to intelligence levels but rather emotional maturity level instead.

They are also used to diagnose whether the child’s speech errors indicate that they’re having difficulties with developmentally appropriate words, or if it is indicative of a delay in their vocabulary and sentence construction skills.

Pediatric speech therapy is a specialized form of treatment for children with communication challenges. Speech therapy helps kids learn to speak, understand other people’s words and sentences when spoken aloud, as well as teach them how to chew their food properly without choking on it or swallowing too much at once. Other areas that pediatric speech therapists help treat include articulation (the way your child pronounces his/her sounds), auditory processing (how the brain interprets what we hear) and social skills training–helping you find ways to make conversation more interesting while teaching empathy in addition to raising self-esteem through positive reinforcement from others!
