The term developmental delay means that a child is not meeting developmental milestones at the expected age. While it’s not always clear what is causing the delay, early intervention can often help kids catch up. Developmental disabilities are issues that kids don’t outgrow or catch up from, though they can make progress. Some conditions that can cause developmental disabilities include: Autism, Down syndrome, and brain injuries.
Speech is how we say sounds and words to communicate. Speech includes:
- Articulation: How we make speech sounds using the mouth, lips, and tongue. For example, we need to be able to say the “r” sound to say 'rabbit' instead of 'wabbit.”
- Voice: How we use our vocal folds and breath to make sounds. Our voice can be loud or soft or high-pitched or low-pitched.
- Fluency: This is the rhythm of our speech. We sometimes repeat sounds or pause while talking. People who do this a lot may stutter.
Language refers to the words we use and how we use them to share ideas and get what we want. Language includes:
- What words mean. Some words have more than one meaning. For example, “star” can be a bright object in the sky or someone famous.
- How to make new words. For example, we can say “friend,” “friendly,” or “unfriendly” and mean something different.
- How to put words together. For example, in English we say, “John rode his bike to the store” instead of “John bike ride store.”
- What we should say at different times. For example, we might be polite and say, “Excuse me. ” But, if the person does not move, we may say, “Get out of my way!”
