Question
Why isn’t my child talking by the age of three?
Answer
If a child hasn’t begun to speak by the age of three, it’s typically necessary to conduct a hearing test and an assessment of language development. If there are hearing issues, they should be treated early. Additionally, parents should provide a rich language environment, encourage the child to talk more, and conduct appropriate language training. If the child shows signs of autism or other developmental disabilities, it’s important to seek professional help and treatment early on. In summary, early detection and intervention are key.
