Unlocking Your Child’s Full Potential: The Importance of Early Intervention for Speech and Language Delay

<div>
	
		As a professional specializing in speech and language development, I understand the challenges parents face when their children struggle to express themselves. It can be frustrating and stressful for both parents and children. But did you know that delayed speech and language development can also lead to behavioral issues in children? It’s essential to understand the importance of early intervention and how you can help your child reach their full potential.
	
	
		Normal Speech and Language Development
	
	
		Children follow a natural pattern in their speech and language development. They start communication by cooing and babbling at around 6 months, using eye contact, pointing, and gestures. By one year of age, they speak their first words and continue to learn new words, phrases, and sentences through positive interactions with their environment. While there is a normal age range for achieving speech and language milestones, some children may achieve them earlier or later. However, if your child hasn’t reached these milestones by the upper age limit, it may be considered a delay.
	
	
		Causes of Delayed Speech and Language Development
	
	
		Various factors can contribute to delayed speech, language, and communication development. It could be due to hearing impairment, being in the neuro-divergent spectrum, ADHD, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, excessive screen time, lack of adequate language stimulation at home, etc. As parents, it’s crucial to be aware of normal developmental milestones in children, so you can identify any signs of concern and consult a specialist for early intervention. Early identification and intervention are vital for helping your child reach their full potential.
	
	
		Importance of Early Identification and Intervention
	
	
		The first three years of a child’s life are crucial for speech and language development, as the brain is still developing and maturing during this period. In fact, around 80% of brain development is complete by this time. While some children may catch up on their own if they are “late talkers,” studies show that ~30% of children may need speech and language therapy to improve their communication difficulties.
	
	
		Parents often listen to well-meaning relatives or even doctors and adopt a ‘wait and watch’ approach. It’s challenging to predict which children fall into this category, which is why it’s always safe to consult a speech-language pathologist as soon as you observe any developmental delays in your child. Any concerns from as young as 1 year, can be raised. This will ensure that you get the maximum benefit from the language development window.
	
	
		Functional Communication
	
	
		Parents often provide children with books and toys that teach the alphabet and counting, but it’s important to focus on functional communication. Your child may be able to name cars, animals, and fruits, but struggle to communicate everyday needs. This can lead to using gestures and pointing to communicate their needs. Therefore, providing adequate language stimulation at home with a focus on functional communication is crucial, and parents play a pivotal role in this process.
	
	
		Conclusion
	
	
		If you notice any delay in your child’s speech and language skills, consult a speech pathologist as soon as possible for early intervention, who will also guide you to provide adequate language stimulation at home. With the right support and intervention, your child can make better progress and thrive in their communication skills. Invest in your child’s future by prioritizing their speech and language development today. Remember, it’s never too early to act.

<h3>COVID Vaccine and Blood Clots</h3>

	 I have been receiving phone calls from my relatives and concerned patients regarding the recent news about AstraZeneca has accepted a link between the vaccine and Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS). Concerned calls are mostly from people who have previously taken COVISHIELD vaccine.


	 But what is fact?

<ul>
	<li>As per available literature percentage of reported cases of Blood clots caused by the vaccination till date (May 2024) is 000003 to 0.000061 %. (1)</li>
	<li>Most importantly, the percentage of people who developed Blood clots following a COVID infection in is as high as 26% , which is 4,00,000 (4 lakhs) times more than what vaccine against COVID can cause. (2)</li>
	<li>More interestingly, this fact regarding Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) or VITT (Vaccine Induced Thrombocytopenic Thrombosis) is not something new. It was already made clear by the vaccine company as a possible rare side effect in way back 2021 itself (3)</li>
</ul>

	 Therefore, being vaccinated by COVISHIELD should not make you worried when you hear the news that spreads around. Rather a previous COVID infection is having more chances of blood clots inside you. So vaccine which have prevented development of severe COVID Infection, is an indirect protection for you in some sense.


	 What can you do?


	 Visit your physician and evaluate yourselves if you have any of the below: –

<ul>
	<li>Deep pain in the calf muscles</li>
	<li>Sudden onset breathing difficulty</li>
	<li>Weakness or inability to use your hands or legs</li>
	<li>Slurring of speech</li>
	<li>Chest pain</li>
</ul>

	 Your physician, after a detailed examination and assessment of your risk, will do the needful investigations to evaluate if you have any blood clots.


	 How do we diagnose TTS?

<ul>
	<li>Clinical features</li>
	<li>Vaccine history</li>
	<li>Low platelet count, elevated D-Dimer Levels, low or normal fibrinogen level</li>
	<li>Scans/imaging to prove blood clots</li>
</ul>

	 Remember


	 Not all blood clots are caused by COVID INFECTION or COVISHIELD vaccine. Even before 2020, people have had blood clots due to other reasons like diabetes, smoking, cancer, high blood cholesterol, dehydration, alcoholism, rare genetic diseases.


	 I have personally seen more number of deaths due to COVID-19 infection causing complications like blood clots than COVID Vaccine resulting in blood clots. Yes, reports of rare incidence of blood clots caused following vaccination is there. But that should not create fear in you.


	 Therefore, quit smoking, abstain from alcohol, drink plenty of water, keep your sugars and other health conditions under good control.. This can help you remain safer than being anxious
