Language Disorders
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Language problems group together difficulties in understanding or expressing words and ideas, especially in childhood, when the development of speech and communication follows certain expected stages. They can affect pronunciation, vocabulary, or sentence construction.
Signs to watch for: delay in first words, reduced vocabulary for the age, difficulty putting words together or making oneself understood, and little response to verbal instructions.
When to pay attention? When language development is not progressing at the expected pace or a plateau is noticed, it is advisable to observe it carefully.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician is the one who performs the first evaluation of the child's development and guides the steps to follow. If you notice that your child is falling behind in speech or comprehension, discussing it at a consultation helps to support them in a timely manner.
