Delayed speech in toddlers isn’t as uncommon as one might think. Babies only recognize basic sounds at about 6 months of age if typically developing, and development of functional language, speech and more advanced language skills vary greatly. That’s why in today’s video I’m talking about how to know it’s a language delay if you’re noticing speech delays in your child or client with or without autism.

I was in denial for a long time when my son was first showing signs of autism. When I thought my son, Lucas had lots of words, they weren’t functional words he understood or used. Words like E-I-E-I-O in Old MacDonald (the song) or phrases that Lucas would repeat hours or days later, I would count as words. But this wasn’t functional language, they were just sounds and fill in the blanks to songs that I sang to Lucas. In such cases, children might be displaying what’s called scripting or delayed echolalia which are all signs of autism.

Whether or not it’s a speech delay, language delay, a child is a late talker, or some other type of disorder such as ADHD… it’s important to know the developmental milestones of typically developing children. It’s also important not to sit around and wait for a diagnosis and wait for the waiting list to get shorter. Instead, I encourage parents and professionals to become the captain of the ship and use my child-friendly ABA strategies to tackle language delays and turn it around into functional language. You can do all of this by taking a free 2-minute quiz, and watching my workshop on my website.
