What should I do if my 2 and a half year old baby can't speak?

If a two and a half year old baby still cannot speak, you cannot take it lightly. You must take them for language testing in time so that you can know whether they have a language disorder. This disease is relatively difficult to treat and requires parents to have great patience and persistence. They must gradually improve their language function and conduct relevant language training.

For children who already have language but with little content and simple form, they are required to imitate the therapist's speech, induce spontaneous expression, and apply it in life. The strategy used in the intervention was to have children imitate during imaginative play. Therapists use gestures and actions in demonstrative language to reinforce children's feelings; encourage children to communicate consciously; create various opportunities to talk to children; and teach children daily language in role-playing games, such as going shopping, receiving visiting friends, etiquette, etc.

(4) Family cooperation: Parents and caregivers play a very important role in children's language development and speech therapy. Parents need to actively participate, apply the methods and strategies of speech therapy in their lives, and work towards the established goals of treatment. Today's clinical speech therapy model is the collaboration and cooperation between therapists and families, which has been proven to be effective in practice.

3. Treatment of voice problems In the field of pediatrics, voice therapy is mainly used for vocal training for children with hearing impairments and mental retardation, including training in pitch, loudness, voiced sounds, onset and duration. At present, China has utilized the multimedia function of computers and adopted clinical medicine software as a treatment method, combining it with other methods in individual treatment such as changing loudness, throat massage, semi-swallowing, changing tongue position, reducing hard onset, relaxation, breathing training, etc., to achieve the treatment effect.

4. Treatment of speech disfluency It is difficult to distinguish speech disfluency from stuttering in young children. When this disfluency is very frequent, indirect treatments are often used, such as children's games, parental guidance, changing the way parents and children interact, and adjusting the environment. The reason for using an indirect treatment method is to avoid causing children to be nervous due to deliberately correcting their speech disfluency. Therapists should advise family members not to correct the child's disfluencies and to ask him to repeat and reiterate. Some game-like situations such as storytelling, nursery rhymes, and children's songs can be designed to promote language fluency.
