[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that OP is an ignorant ass.

The rise in children being identified with speech delays is simply an outcome of more services, education, and research on early speech. My husband did not speak until he was 4. Back then he was just considered a late talker. DH is brilliant, PHd and very successful in his field. It was pretty common for kids in his family to speak late. DS was not speaking at 18 months-2 years so we did do therapy. He made some regular progress with therapy and all of sudden starting talking in full sentences at age 3.

ESL parents or caregivers have nothing to do with speech delays. [/quote]
So it's plain bad luck??[/quote]

I think it's pretty clear from what the PP said.  People are more aware of speech delays and there are more interventions available.  It's not that there really are more speech delays, they are just getting diagnosed better now.  There is also a hereditary component.  DH didn't talk until he was 3.5 but at that time no one thought that much of it.  He didn't get speech therapy.  My DS was speech delayed and had therapy at 2.  And we are a purely english speaking house.  [/quote]
