Autism Speech Delay
If you suspect that your child is showing signs of a speech delay it is worth further
investigation so that appropriate intervention can be sought as early as possible.
Almost one
in twenty adults suffers from some sort of speech or language disorder.
If diagnosed and
corrected before the child reaches school age, it will have less impact on their overall
intellectual development.
Normal speech development begins with the newborn as they discover that they can use their
mouths to produce an array of soft sounds.
This later develops into babble and by the age of

brought forward or delayed by weeks or even months for no apparent reason.
