- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Do you know if your child is suffering from a speech or language
- disorder? By the age of 5, with one or two exceptions a child should be able
- to make all speech sounds correctly. Delayed speech means that some speech
- sounds are not made correctly at the expected age. Delayed language means
- that words or sentences are not understood or used at the expected age. A
- child who is not using words by 1 1/2 or 2 years of age or is not able to
- speak in short sentences by 2-3 years of age may have a language delay. You
- can learn more about this subject by writing to the American
- Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), Dept. AB, 10801 Rockville Pike,
- Rockville, Maryland 20852 and requesting their illustrated booklet "How Does
- Your Child Hear and Talk" which features a multicolored chart showing the
- stages of communication from birth to age 5. Be sure to enclose a stamped
- self addressed business envelope with your request, which should be mailed
- DIRECTLY to the above address. Several other publications about communication
- disorders are available from ASHA and are listed on the back of this brochure.
