[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 399987, member: 1991"] Language delay is quite specific. it is not necessarily speech delay. Language is communication and the ability to recognise abstract elements as symbols for communication. For example, recognising the sounds of the word "apple" (or even the written word) as meaning the fruit. Language is important, because it helps us form connections in our own brains about various topics. These interconnections are less complex where language delay has been an issue, so despite vocabulary eventually catching up in many cases, they will continue to have some frustrating issues lifelong, with things like word retrieval. Interesting, while easy child 2/difficult child 2 had no language issues that we diagnosed, she does now have serious word retrieval problems. Marg [/QUOTE]
