What Is Speech Delay?

Children with speech delay may have fewer words than expected for their age, difficulty combining words into phrases, or challenges being understood by others. Speech delay affects approximately 5-10% of preschool children. Early intervention is key to helping children catch up and develop strong communication skills, with most children showing measurable improvement within 2-3 months of consistent therapy.
