A speech therapist is an assistant to parents in the communication of the baby with the universe, in the correctness of the formation of pronunciations and opportunities to express oneself through words. It is this specialist who helps the baby in the correct pronunciation of speech and sounds and gives self-confidence.
When is it necessary to consult a speech therapist?
Preventive consultation with a speech therapist is desirable for every child at the age of one and a half
The child does not imitate sounds and does not pronounce the simplest words (ma-ma, ta-to, ba-ba, bi-bi...) at the age of 2 years and older
With sudden loss of speech
There is speech, but the child does not use it for communication (the communicative function is impaired), there is a constant repetition of phrases
Delay in speech development (vocabulary is formed slowly, with difficulty, phrasal speech is not formed at all (the child uses several commonly used phrases)
The child does not understand addressed speech, or understands it only at the everyday level
The child does not respond to his name or responds selectively
The little boy is constantly holding something in his hands
Does not feel danger
May cry or laugh for no reason
You have noticed a strong sensitivity to sounds
Clumsiness, awkwardness, physical weakness
Aggression, aggression itself
Lack of emotions
Of course, this is not all, but with any of the above symptoms, contact a specialist!
The main thing when working with a speech therapist is time, the result of work started in one and a half to two years will differ from the result of work started in four to five years.
