Her daughter has no interest in communicating. She doesn't make any gestures like wave bye-bye or point at things. She doesn't look at her mother when she talks. In the past, the only available help for families was usually located in a hospital or treatment centre. Now the services are located in the community.
Parents are surprised at how simple the strategies are.
For example, waiting long enough for them to try, giving them the correct word rather than asking, and adding words to what the child has said. It's simple and makes a lot of sense, but it takes practice to do it all the time and anywhere. It makes a huge difference to a child. Children who learn to communicate have fewer behavior problems, succeed in school and make friends. Children with speech and language delays will have more successful and productive lives if we help them early The age of the baby or child and the level of their problem determines what kind of help is needed.
