A member asked:

35-mo old child. a year ago could only clearly say 5 words, expression and comprehension half a child of his age, he now is at 15 words or so. is this real improvement? the mother canceled visit to neurologist. why a neurologist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Speech/language : Speech & language are considered a marker for general intellectual development. The potential causes of a delay are many. Discovering why & how to maximize the child's progress crosses several specialties. A child neurologist, developmental pediatrician,speech & language pathologist, may all play a roll in this process. Some cancel visits fearing bad news, but should not.
