A member asked:

What are causes for delayed verbal development in a toddler and what does this delay portend for future academic performance?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

To many to list: You can start with infections in the womb by things like CMV, toxoplasmosis, rubella, zeka, and others. It could be autism, aspergers or a simple verbal apraxia of unknown origin. There are others and the future can only be defined in some and only after proper diagnosis.
