Symptoms of language communication disorders in infants

Often when a child is young, it is difficult for him to express himself clearly. We usually ignore his potential problems in language communication. By the time we discover it, it is too late or we have missed the best time for treatment. Below I will introduce some ways to preliminarily judge whether the baby has language communication disorders through the baby's early performance.

Language development begins in the neonatal period and is most rapid between 4 and 6 years old.

The cries of a 2-month-old baby due to hunger, discomfort, or pain have linguistic meaning. Language disorder refers to a language disorder in which hearing, intelligence, and interpersonal communication are normal, but the ability to understand, express, and apply language deviates from normal. The defects in language comprehension ability are manifested in poor understanding of words, the relationship between words, sentences of different structures, negative sentences and complex sentences. Defects in expressive language manifest themselves in improper grammar and word choice, which make it impossible to make things clear. Babies with defects in language expression and comprehension abilities cannot talk to others normally. I can't understand what other people say. The following phenomena indicate the possibility of language disorders and should attract the attention of parents.

The 1-month-old was born with low birth weight, oral and facial developmental abnormalities, including a repaired cleft palate, no response to environmental sounds, and a low cry.

3 months: No eye contact with mother, no responsive smile.

At 6 months old, the baby will not turn towards the sound source, will not calm down when hearing the mother's voice when crying, will make fewer babbling sounds, will not laugh loudly, and cannot distinguish between p/b.

In December, he had no reaction to familiar voices or when someone called his name, did not learn to pronounce the names, and could not call daddy or mommy.

At 18 months, the child cannot point to body parts or household items, cannot understand simple instructions, and cannot say another word other than "mom and dad".

24 months cannot telegraph two-word sentences containing a subject and a predicate. Like to use gestures to express what you mean, or say too much grammatical words.

Language communication disorders will manifest in the later stages as a series of problems such as the inability to understand what others are saying and the inability to clearly express one's own thoughts. We should discover and treat them as early as possible. Strive to help children acquire complete speaking skills and have a happy life.
