Communication
The communication between the baby and his mother or family starts a lot earlier than the first words. Crying, smiling, gestures, eye contact, pointing, etc. are communication attempts that will later turn into sounds, words, phrases and whole sentences. Knowing the child development and milestones deadlines is basic to determine if a child is showing a delay in his communication skills. The receptive language skills are the ones that relate to understanding spoken language, following directions, responding to his name, etc. The expressive language skills are the ones that involve the child's production of gestures, sounds, words and phrases with a communication intent.Improve "Pragmatic" Language
Some children may have excellent pronunciation and may even be early readers, but they may need speech therapy to improve "pragmatic" language, or the process of using verbal and body language appropriately in social situations for everyday purposes such as making requests, having conversations, and making friends.Medical Conditions
Some medical conditions affect language and speech development. Some of these conditions include: brain injury or infections, some cases of prematurity, conditions involving the skull development, autism, ADHD, Apraxia, Aphasia, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, varied genetic disorders; and other problems like stuttering and voice disorders..How long?
