Suggest Treatment For Speech Disorder And Hearing Difficulty In Children

I have a son who is very behind in speech. He is 5 years old and it is difficult to understand him. When he talks he does not pronunciate at all. I don’t know who to take him to for speech therapy. He is very bright if you stop and help him with pronunciation he can do it. He has developed bad habits when he was having difficulty with his hearing. I just need an idea on who helps children and if there is a name for this. Thank you for your help.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think there are a lot of other thing you should pay attention with your child which are : does your child have eye contact with you, does your child play with you, does he like playing with other children, how does he communicate with you. All this help to understand that the child development is ok. So I will suggest the best solution is to see a proffesionist for child development and he will give you the right recommendation for speech therapy or anything else you need.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
