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.

    Why am I forc’d, like Heav’n, against my mind,
    To make Examples of another Kind?
    Must I at length the Sword of Justice draw?
    Oh curst Effects of necessary Law!

    Beware the Fury of a Patient Man.

    Jerome (c. 340–420)

    Face troubles from their birth, for ‘tis too late to cure
    When long delay has given the evil strength.
