A member asked:

What can i do to help my 4 year old with speech impairment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Speech delay: Need to see a speech therapist. There are programs through school district as well. Hearing problems can lead to speech impairment as well. Need to make sure hearing is not playing a role.

Dr Fricke and another doctor agreed
