lack of speech skills before the age of two is a sign of a developmental disorder in a child

May 11, 2023

Marina Volkova, founder of the Life in Joy charity foundation, notes that the lack of communication between children under 2 years old can lead to certain mental disorders.

Babies can be born with serious health problems at any stage of pregnancy or childbirth, so prenatal screening is essential for the mother before giving birth, Volkova notes.

However, on the other hand, it is often difficult to diagnose certain disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder or psychomotor retardation, which can lead to delayed treatment and worsening of the child’s condition.

When it comes to protecting the baby, experts agree that it’s important to be alert for any signs and seek immediate medical attention during pregnancy and the first few weeks after birth.

Lack of response, eye contact, pointing gestures or speech are all signs of mental health problems. These symptoms should be monitored by specialists who can help provide treatment and therapy for the child, Volkova stressed.

She also advised that consultation with a neuropsychologist, speech therapist, rehabilitation physician, audiologist, and/or trombone teacher may also be required for dysfunctions in their respective areas. News .
