0:26
definitions have speech
0:28
and language common types associated disorders
0:31
and characteristics that me signal concern we know that
0:36
most typically developing children learn language in predictable stages
0:40
and %uh predictable ages but within these predictable ages and stages
0:44

1:07
let's begin by describing speech and language
1:10
and common types and related disorders speech
1:14
is the production individual sounds put together to form words
1:18
children learn the distinctive sounds have their language
1:21
gradually and learn to combine them according to the rules
1:25
or patterns they hear from the moment they're born babies listen to all the
1:30
sounds around them
1:31
and every sound you make and soon begin to recognize
1:35
frequently occurring sound combinations called words
1:38
by their first birthday your child will say their very first words
1:43
and by age 4 most children will produce nearly
1:46
all sounds correctly I will be understood by most everyone around them
1:51
language is a combination
1:55
or system of symbols used to convey ideas
1:59
and understand others there really are two parts to it
2:02
receptive language and expressive language
2:05
receptive language represents what we understand
2:09
while expressive language represents what we can say or express
2:13
inwards phrases and census speech and language disorders
2:18
may occur separately or together when talking is hard for a child they may be
2:24
experiencing
2:25
a speech sound or articulation disorder they may have difficulty producing one
2:30
are many different sounds or sound combinations family members or friends
2:35
may have difficulty
2:37
understanding their speech or refer to it as baby talk
2:40
a child may leave out a sound or substitute one sound for another
2:45
this may not be cause for concern but it could be
2:48
if it persists past the age when they would be expected to produce such sounds
2:53
correctly other children who have difficulty
2:57
may repeat sounds or words or phrases when they speak
3:01
or they may have a hard time getting the words out and take long pauses between
3:05
their works
3:06
you might also notice attend snack face or shoulders when they try to talk
3:11
when these behaviors persist and distract the listener
3:15
they may signal a stuttering or fluency disorder
3:18
a child with unusual voice quality such as
3:22
coarseness or breathlessness or who uses a very loud or soft voice
3:26
might be demonstrating a voice disorder if a child has difficulty expressing
3:31
ideas our needs
3:32
they may be reluctant to talk or become easily frustrated
3:36
this may signal an expressive language disorder
3:39
or you might hear your child confusing the pronouns him
3:43
and her for example a child might say him hit me
3:46
or they may frequently use big words like stuff
3:50
poor thing instead a specific labels this could be cause for concern
3:55
if other more specific words are not used at all when a child frequently has
4:01
difficulty following directions
4:03
or understanding what others are saying they may be showing signs over cepted
