speech development and milestones

t do that instead he used to roll back and forth even until he was 1year..I showed to a development Specialist and they suggested for Physio Therapy, I started immediately and when he was 14months he started to sit on his own and i still continued the therapy and by 16-17 months he started crawling little and now his crawling much better at 20 months. I had discontinued the therapy for about two months that when he was 18 months and now i again started with the therapy for him..

There is a chance of delayed acquisition of developmental motor and cognitive milestones incase of reduction in brain myelination. Your son is probably having a combination of demyelinating neuropathy. Neuropathy is the term for damage to nerves of the peripheral nervous system, which may be caused either by diseases of the nerve or from the side-effects of systemic illness.

My son is 26 months old and has been diagonised with speech development delay but now I am wondering if there is more to be concerned about. He was also slow/delayed at reaching gross motor milestones of sitting, crawling and walking. He flaps his armes when excited or agitated, and is compulsivily clean. He can be extremely affectionate one minute but then start hitting, biting and/or pulling hair.

I don't believe speech therapy is necessary for him, he may just be a quieter type of child who takes in alot from his environment, which isn't such a bad thing. For now, just do as you would normally and keep communicating with him. Encourage him to communicate with others aswell, which i'm sure you already do. I myself was a real quiet kid and wouldn't speak to anyone and was extremely shy, i just wanted to do my own thing and was happy to do so.

Maybe you could try either printing some material from the Internet on normal speech development of children at given ages, or get a book at the library on toddler development and see if milestones are given, and show them. Do you think he doesn't hear, or is it simply that he is not seeming to comprehend language? If you think it might be his hearing, also see what you can find of symptoms of hearing issues in small children.

My son is 4 yrs old.He was born only three weeks early and was healthy.Met all milestones pretty much on time except talking.He did not talk until 3 yrs old.He has severe speech apraxia and takes speech 3 times a week.We have seen some small improvment.I also know he does not have conversations like a 4 yr old does.He doesnt ever talk about past or future,doesnt talk about ideas or really anything except in the moment type of stuff.

If the pediatrician is worried about autism, he should refer your sister to a child development specialist. The earlier you start intervation for speech and social skills the better in the long run for the success of the child. Good luck.

Also, it is not fair to say that he has had no development in this area. He does say two words that he did not say at 12 months, and occasionally I will SWEAR that he said something new and even two words together, but then he will never say it again. Another issue is that it can be very difficult to get his attention. He rarely responds to his name, but does occasionally.

born ar 29 cm do you think it is a permanent development problems, will she get to the milestones, even later than other child will do please give me your feedback on the possibilities and

Hm. Let me ask you if he met his milestones in development on time? Does he communicate in other ways with you, gesturing and pointing? I'm not sure what is going on, but I do think you keep your eye on this. You've raised other children--- so you know what to expect. Not every child is the same, of course. But you have a general idea. If these things continue, a developmental pediatrician or occupational therapist may be ideal for an evaluation.

I know that there is a lot of variability to be expected. He missed the expected milestones for number of words at 15 months and 18 months-I think he was in the very small minority- this had me very worried. We took him to the speech expert and they recommended speech therapy. We did this, and pretty soon he was talking up a storm.

I just checked my books, and Babycenter, and Parents.com, and they all use the medical way of counting. So at week 1 they just say things like "Something exciting is about to happen!" and stuff like that, since obviously you haven't even conceived yet at week 1 counted the medical way. But again, it may depend on the book. The way you can tell is by looking at week 1 and week 2.

, too). He ended up being delayed in his speech, though and, after speech therapy, is just now catching up to his peers. Does anyone know what is "normal" in terms of when a baby should be starting to talk??

Usually the first professional to assess any child is the Speech and Language Therapist because most of these children have difficulties with speech and social interaction. If her speech is poor then that could be an avenue you could bring up because all children need sufficient communication and language skills for nursery and school otherwise they won't be able to communicate or understand what is being asked of them.

I agree with the above comments whole heartedly. I will say one thing though. Kids who skip crawling or rush through other developmental milestones can be red flagged for some nervous system issues. My son only crawled for about 2 or 3 weeks and I thought this was great as he walked early. Our occupational therapist has now made it clear that this is not great and is a sign of sensory integration disorder. My son has this issue.

m not sure where your from so its probably called something different but there should be programs where you are that helps with children speech development they came to your house they will observe your child and then set up appointments depending on how much and what kind of help she needs they come to your home for the appointments so the child is comfortable there is usually no charge depending on your insurance and they will be able to tell you if she needs testing for autism and where you

some babies develop physically VERY fast and slower when it comes to speech or emotional development, some babies are early speakers/cooers but take longer to sit up and roll over. some babies develop both things faster, some slower....and it's just a guideline. so when they say "a baby should learn to roll over at about 2 months", they really mean any time from 6wks-12wks is normal.

He has said a few words in the past like Mamma and Dadda and even waved and said bye and clapped and said clap but stopped all words within a couple of days of saying them. Now he just babbles. He flaps his arms when he gets excited and loves watching the television (although I try to limit it). He has little eye contact, more with me than anyone else, some days lots and other days nothing. He is a very happy little boy. He loves cuddles and chasing his two older brothers around.

Children this young learn about the world in spontaneous ways, not via structured learning. Enjoy him and his development. Of course you can permit toys with letters and numbers, just don't focus on them in any formal way.

) This is, as Danika said, so a mom who is looking at where her baby should be in development milestones will not freak out that her preemie isn't hitting 10-week milestones. A premature baby will hit their milestones at the same time as if he or she had been born on their full-term birth date.

My question is: Can head traumas that are supposedly "minor" cause loss of speech, or a speech disorder? Can it cause "petit mal" staring seizures? This haunts me. . . I have stone floors in my house and my son (due to playing with his older sister) has fallen (apparently) backwards twice off the couch (18 inches) and hit his head on the floor - hard.

If you have concerns, continue to monitor her language development and interest in socializing and interacting with others. If you start seeing delays in communication or social development, consider having her assessed by early intervention and autism specialists.

well she can be pulling up and still not be ready to walk...she most likely will still crawl. Parents who say their babies skipped crawling don't mean that the baby didn't ACTUALLY crawl..they just mean that it was a very short period of time. My daughter only crawled for a little bit...she went from commando crawling to pulling up, to crawling for about 2wks, then she started cruising and cruised for about 2 months before she started walking independently.

Her new born screening was fine , my husband and I have normal language/verbal development. She understands what we tell her, she knows and points where the moon or the stars are, or get her slippers or eat her food. She loves to play with children. Does she just have delayed development? What are the things that I may do at home to improve her verbal development? I don't want to wait till she gets 2 years old and realize it's too late for me to do something about it.

This is from Dr. Sears, and there are a lot of other good sites that discuss late walkers. Your daughter is apparently not really "late" per se. Google "late walker" and you should be reassured. "There are many factors that influence the age at which babies begin to crawl and walk. First is the temperament of the baby.
