Speech & Language Delay
Your child has something to say. We help them find their voice.
What is Speech & Language Delay?
Speech and language delay is one of the most common developmental concerns in young children. It refers to a child developing communication skills — speaking, understanding, or using language — more slowly than expected for their age. Speech delay affects the sounds and words a child produces, while language delay affects how a child understands and expresses ideas.
Speech and language delays can have many causes — hearing difficulties, developmental differences, limited exposure to language, or other underlying conditions. Early intervention with a qualified speech-language therapist significantly improves outcomes.
What parents often notice
- Not babbling by 12 months
- Not saying any words by 16 months
- Not combining two words by 24 months (e.g. 'more milk')
- Difficulty following simple instructions
- Frustration when trying to communicate — tantrums or pointing instead of speaking
- Unclear speech that is hard to understand even for family members
- Not using gestures like waving or pointing
- Regression — losing words they previously used
Important: If you recognise several of these signs in your child, it does not mean they definitely have Speech & Language Delay. Only a professional assessment can provide clarity. The earlier you seek an evaluation, the better.
How Siraa Health helps with Speech & Language Delay
Speech & language assessment
We evaluate your child's receptive language (what they understand), expressive language (what they say), and speech sounds to identify exactly where support is needed.
Individualised speech therapy
Sessions are play-based and child-friendly, designed to build vocabulary, sentence structure, articulation, and functional communication at your child's pace.
Hearing screening referral
We screen for hearing issues that may be contributing to speech delay and refer for audiology evaluation where needed.
Home programme for parents
We give parents practical, easy-to-implement strategies to support language development throughout the day — during meals, play, and daily routines.
