Speech Delay - Effects of Speech Delay

Effects of Speech Delay

Studies show that children diagnosed with speech delay are more likely to present with behavioral and social emotional problems both in childhood and as adults. Decreased receptive language, reading, and learning skills are common side effects for children that suffer from a speech delay and do not receive adequate intervention. Similar studies suggest that children with speech delays are more likely to have a difficult time communicating and bonding with peers, which could have negative effects on their psychosocial health later in life.

Famous quotes containing the words effects of, effects, speech and/or delay:

    Each of us, even the lowliest and most insignificant among us, was uprooted from his innermost existence by the almost constant volcanic upheavals visited upon our European soil and, as one of countless human beings, I can’t claim any special place for myself except that, as an Austrian, a Jew, writer, humanist and pacifist, I have always been precisely in those places where the effects of the thrusts were most violent.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    One of the effects of a safe and civilised life is an immense oversensitiveness which makes all the primary emotions somewhat disgusting. Generosity is as painful as meanness, gratitude as hateful as ingratitude.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel. It is to bring another out of his bad sense into your good sense.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Hatred and vengeance, my eternal portion,
    Scarce can endure delay of execution:—
    Wait, with impatient readiness, to seize my
    Soul in a moment.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
