- Not many parents of children with speech delays and problems take them to get evaluated or seek help.
- Children with speech delays may have harsh or husky voices and parents should consider getting their children examined by a doctor in case they may have laryngitis or vocal misuse.
- There are many different causes of speech delay and one is cerebral palsy, which means the muscle groups are affected and it can be more challenging for a child to overcome their speech delay as a result.
- There is a point where children with speech delay will mimic the sounds that they hear and repeat them constantly, sometimes causing their parents to be distressed by the repetition.
- I chose this article because it talks about many physical aspects of speech delays that parents might not be aware of and this is something that needs to be addressed within school systems and by parents.

- By the age of two, most children are able to identify different sounds, they can point to different parts of their body.
- Another big milestone for a toddler is how they look at their parents or return affection. If these things are not occurring, it can be a sign of potential delay.
- I chose this article because at these early stages, this is when parents should be getting their children evaluated if they notice anything different or abnormal to what regular milestones toddlers undergo at this stage.

- Being an ECE professional, you can notice barriers in the language development of children in the classroom.
- When children speak with a lisp, that is something that can be checked out and considered towards them having a speech delay.
- By the age of two, a child can communicate their immediate needs. A child with speech delays may not be able to do so.
- By the ages of 12-14 months, a child should be able to gesture for a parent to pick them up. But if this does not happen, it can be considered a sign of speech delay.
- I chose this article because the sooner a parent gets their child evaluated, the easier it will be for them to communicate, and will also help with their social and emotional skills.
