Hello,
Yes, it is possible. Due to oxygen deficiency or delayed cry at birth can cause damage to the area of the brain which related to speech and intelligence. Supportive treatment as speech therapy, occupational therapy, etcetera can help, no definitive is available.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
