One of the main distinguishing features of man is speech and thinking. This is its difference from other forms of living organisms.
But it happens that the child does not talk for some reason (because of neurological, genetic, and other disorders, etc.). And such a problem categorically cannot be ignored. Elimination of the underlying cause, properly selected therapy and correction can start speech in a child in a fairly short period of time.
Main causes of speech disorders
The most common causes of speech impairment (lack of speech) are as follows:
- autism spectrum disorders;
- mitochondrial dysfunction;
- neurodevelopmental disorders;
- metabolic problems;
- genetic abnormalities;
- Pandas and other encephalitis.
