Perspective: How to recognize if your child is speech delayed (and what to do to help)
By Tamara Gane May 17 at 8:30 AM My son was 3 years old when I realized he wasn’t developing at the same pace as other children.
Carol Berkowitz, the division chief of general pediatrics for the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, says if your child doesn’t meet specific speech milestones — including saying the words dada/mama by 10 months; a vocabulary of three to five words by 12 months; and a vocabulary of 50 words, including two-word phrases, by 24 months — it could be a sign of a speech delay.
The first changes I noticed in my son were behavioral. Before enrolling in speech therapy, he was prone to frequent outbursts and temper tantrums. “Temper tantrums and biting are often noted in youngsters with speech delay,” Berkowitz says. “It makes sense since they cannot articulate their wishes or express their frustration.”
