Red Flags for a Speech & Language Delay

  • Difficulty with clear production of speech sounds
  • Has omissions, distortions, or substitution of speech sounds (some developmental errors are appropriate)
  • Not using words- single words by age 1 or combining words by age 2
  • Frequent drooling or difficulty eating different textures
  • Repeats back words and phrases (echolalia/TV talk)
  • Hesitates, repeats, or prolongs words
  • Unusual vocal quality, or a sing-song prosody
  • Difficulty with rules of grammar
  • Lacking specific vocabulary to name objects or actions. May use "that," "thing" or "you know" or use gestures
  • Difficulty  with social relationships with peers (inappropriate remarks/difficulty  initiating interaction with peer, volume control difficulty, unawareness  of other's feelings or facial expressions)
  • Distractability - attention/focus
  • Learning difficulties - particularly in the areas of reading and writing
  • Difficulty following the rules of conversation (limited eye contact, personal space, interrupting, limited topic maintenance)

 

We frequently refer clients for full hearing tests with an audiologist to rule out hearing loss or fluid in the ears. 

We  also refer to developmental pediatricians when there are significant  indicators for developmental delay and to rule out autism spectrum disorder.
