Language delay, speech, related issue
CASE STUDY
The case study involves children born into bilingual families from eighteen months old.
I will focus on a family with a three-year-old daughter experiencing language delay. The child is from a bilingual home and lives with both his parents and a sibling. The parents are financially stable. However, her language delay was detected at her 18-month-old wellness appointment, where her pediatrician expressed concern and referred the parent to the infant and toddlers program, where it was detected that her expressive language is delayed.
I will discuss the case by exploring the unique challenges the girl experiences at “school and home.” Next, I will discuss the infant and toddlers program goals and how they helped the child on her therapy journey and expand her vocabulary. Finally, I will conduct online research and use credible academic sources from the UMGC library database to research interventions that will inform parenting action plans, community programs, and speech therapies to help speech-delayed children.
