A member asked:
To what extent should child developmental milestone be adhered? any cause for alarm if child does not speak clearly at least five words at 18 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Enough to need work: Speech & language issues along with other developmental delays can be minimized when evaluated early. Issues like hearing loss can be assisted and therapy when needed can improve a kids chance of reaching their potential. The old "they'll talk when their ready" approach is a form of neglect.
