Parents must pay attention to the manifestations of children's language disorders

If a child cannot speak normally when he reaches speaking age, or if there are some problems with what he says, he may have a language disorder. However, many parents cannot discover it early, thinking that it will get better as their children grow up. So let's take a look at the symptoms of this disease below.

1. Manifestations of language disorders in children

1. Abnormal fluency includes pauses, repetitions, extensions and obstructions in speech, which often begins in children aged 2-4 years old. For example, a word is repeated too frequently, more than 50 times in every 1,000 words; a certain sound is dragged out when saying a word; when speaking unfluently, there are movements such as facial distortion, open mouth, sticking out tongue, staring, and jaw trembling.

2. Language problems manifest themselves as language delay and language barriers. Language development deviates from the normal sequence or develops more slowly than normal children. Some children are slow to speak or speak significantly less than their peers.

3. Articulation disorder means unclear speech. Some children make individual pronunciation errors, while others make most of the pronunciation errors, such as saying "ear" as "erguo", "pants" as "tubai", "brother" as "duoduo", "mother-in-law" as "bobo", "mosquito" as "wuzi", etc., making it difficult for others to understand. 4. Abnormal voice is manifested as hoarseness, heavy or light nasal sound, no nasal sound or very light pronunciation, and unclear articulation when pronouncing loudly.

2. Training methods for children with language disorders

1. There is no need to correct pronunciation. Even if you cannot speak well, as long as you have the gesture to express your meaning, if you try to correct your pronunciation deliberately, it may kill the motivation to speak that you have worked so hard to cultivate. As long as he is willing to speak, the defect of incorrect pronunciation will improve over time. Parents or adults only need to provide the correct speaking templates, but never learn to speak like children. 2. What to do when the child only pronounces the initial or final sounds? There is no need to correct the child specifically in this case. The next time you encounter this situation, the adult can pronounce the correct sounds twice or so in real time. Even if he only utters the beginning or end of a sentence, it means he has the motivation to express his meaning, so you should encourage him quickly. 3. Imitate TV commercials. At this time, parents or people around them will think that autistic children have good language skills. If they are prohibited from watching TV and singing commercial songs, they can learn to say useful words. In fact, it is useless to forbid him to speak advertising words. It is better to let him continue speaking and take the opportunity to talk about other topics according to the situation, so as to improve his comprehension ability and let him slowly say meaningful words.

3. Things to note about children's language disorders

1. Establish a sense of trust with autistic children. To carry out language training for autistic children, trust is a prerequisite. Autistic children must accept and trust the trainer in their hearts. Only in this way will they obey instructions and accept training in future training. 2. Design rich and colorful activities. Most autistic children are prone to nervousness, especially when facing others alone. They will be very nervous and some will even hurt themselves. Therefore, we need to design some activities suitable for them so that they can receive purposeful language communication training from teachers in a happy and relaxed attitude. At the same time, it also promotes the development of a healthy mentality in autistic children.
