Specializes in Pediatrics

Abnormal speech: The normal child starts talking at 1 years of age and is fluent by 2 with half of the speech being intelligent. If your child is not talking at 5 years, the most likely cause is autism. I would highly recommend a speech and language assessment either by your school district or a local intervention clinic. As far as treatment, that depends on how co operative your child is.
