Mommy Monday - Speech Delay Update - 6 Year Old

You can jump to 2:55 to get into the speech delay information. I purposely kept the intro in so you can see just how far she has come. My daughter Kaley is now 6 years old and she was speech delayed. She had an expressive, receptive, and articulation delay. I am happy to say that she no longer needs speech therapy. 

Terms used in the video:

Expressive language delay (ELD) is a broad diagnosis that simply means that a child is having trouble using language in some way, shape, or form. 

Receptive language delay is a broad diagnosis that simply means that a child has trouble understanding language. 

Articulation disorder is the inability to form the certain word sounds correctly past a certain age. Word sounds may be dropped, added, distorted, or swapped.
