“When we say early intervention, we mean providing support between the age of one and three. Normally, babies will be able to utter their first word at the age of one year or a year and a half. By the time they turn two, they should be able to speak 10 to 15 words, and within a few months more they would start speaking small sentences. If children are not seen hitting these milestones, parents must seek the help and guidance of therapist,” Maya said.
“If the parents delay seeking the help of therapists, there are chances of these disabilities settling down and becoming permanent,” Maya told Khaleej Times here on the sidelines of the speech therapy workshop organised by the voluntary group Nahtam Social Responsibility (NSR).
Maya, Executive Director and Speech Pathologist at the Stars for Special Abilities, Abu Dhabi said one of the basic problems in addressing the challenges of speech-related disabilities among children is the lack of awareness among the parents, teachers and other care givers.
According to her, nearly 20 to 25 per cent of the children across the world are known to be facing some form of learning disabilities, at the functional or intellectual levels.
