Question
Dear doctor, there is a concern from parents: A 3-year-old baby is still unable to speak in complete sentences. How should this situation be handled? How long does treatment typically take to see results? Please provide professional advice.
Answer
This condition is related to the balance of cerebellar development. It is recommended to first undergo a brain CT scan for an accurate diagnosis. After that, a gradual therapeutic process can be initiated. Language development in babies varies in timing; currently, the baby is not completely unable to speak but is expressing themselves incoherently, and their use of body language is rich, indicating that the baby has no physiological defects and is quite intelligent. Parents should engage in more communication with the baby and avoid correcting their language. After a period of natural interaction, the baby should gradually be able to speak fluently.
