Language Delays @ Heather J. Shpak Speech-Language Services

When language skills fail to develop according to the usual developmental timetable, a language delay is present. A language disorder is more complex in that it is unlikely that a child’s language development will “catch up” with time. When a language disorder is present, comprehension and/or production of language are impaired for reasons you may or may not understand. In either case, a speech-language pathologist can help.
