Abstract

Language delays are relatively common. Children experience language delay when they do not meet the language developmental stages for their age. Their linguistic skills maybe develop at a slightly slower pace than those of other youngsters. They may struggle to express themselves or socialize with other people. Hearing, speech, and cognitive issues might all contribute to their delay. Language delays differ from speech delays, which occur when the mechanical and motor parts of speech production take longer to mature. Many people mix up language delay with speech delay or just late talker. There are distinct tell-tale indications and deciding variables for each of these. Language is a medium of communication, and speech is the verbal motor production of language. Because language and speech are separate, they may be delayed separately. For example, a child's speech may be delayed (i.e., they are unable to generate comprehensible speech sounds), but their language is not delayed since they utilize Sign Language. Furthermore, language delay refers to the slower advancement of all areas of language development, not simply speaking. The following is a comprehensive review of over 50 articles investigating the prevalence and risk factors of language delay in children. Articles published between 2000 and 2022 were found using the keywords “early intervention”, “late bloomers”, “language delay”, “risk factors of language delay”, “the late talker”, and “prevalence of language delay among children” and “language development in children”. This review provides an overview of the literature on prevalence and risk factors of language delay in children and suggestions treatments or ways to avoid or at least minimize the factors of language delay in children.
