Speech and Language Delay: Evidence-Based Intervention

What drives language development, what disrupts it, and what you can do right now

Speech and language delay affects 5-8% of preschool-age children, making it one of the most common developmental concerns parents face. This module separates evidence from anxiety, covering the neuroscience of language acquisition, the role of screen time, ear infections, nutrition, and parent-child interaction. You will learn which delays resolve naturally, which require intervention, and exactly what strategies accelerate language development. Every claim is backed by peer-reviewed research.
