Delayed speech development in children can be worrying for parents. In this article, we will look at the signs of delayed speech development in children aged 1.5 to 4 years and give advice on what to do in such cases.

Signs of delayed speech development in 1.5-2 years:

If the child can not answer simple questions like "What's your name?" or "What should I give you?" and has difficulty with unambiguous answers, this can be a sign of delay. Two-year-olds' speech is often dominated by amorphous words such as "bi-bi," "di," "yum," "gu," and "la." The baby may also have difficulty identifying familiar characters in pictures.

Signs of delayed speech development at 2-3 years of age:

At the age of 2-3 years, the child may not show interest in speech communication, even with loved ones. He may not understand the concepts of "top" and "bottom" and it is difficult to orient in space. Active speech may be dominated by amorphous words, and the child may not reproduce sound imitations, as well as confuse colors. Difficulties may also arise with the fulfillment of instructions.

Signs of delayed speech development at the age of 3-4 years:

At the age of 3-4, a child can pronounce only a few vowel and consonant sounds, and even those are not always clear. The rest of the consonants he either skips or pronounces distorted. The child may also not use prepositions in speech or pronounce them only partially.

What to do in case of a delay in the development of speech in the child? Follow the advice of a speech therapist, and if necessary, consult a pediatric neurologist or psychiatrist. Early identification and support can help your child develop speech skills and achieve successful communication.

Remember that delayed speech development is not always associated with serious problems, and modern techniques and approaches can help children overcome such difficulties successfully.
