Two years = 50 words

Today, I think about kids again, let's see...

"Typically, a child speak. We want to end this widespread phrase 'and speak'. If a child with two years does not use about 50 words is not that it is vague, it is that something happens. " Says Ana Torrico, secretary of the Association of Speech Therapists of Asturias (ALPA), adding that "the problems of language are like a ball, if they persist, they end up having an impact on other areas of life, such as education and social ".

It is of utmost importance to make a correct diagnosis of these problems. It is the pediatrician who has the obligation to inform parents if there is an abnormality, and then derive the child to early care units, formed by speech therapists. A performance that must be done before they start going to school. This diagnosis is crucial, because the late onset of speech may be due to different factors, and only experts can determine whether it is by an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) or one language (TEL).
