Patient's question:
A 6-year-old girl speaks rather unclearly. When you talk to her, it seems like she cannot understand. There are things she can understand, but I don't know what illness it could be that needs treatment.Doctor's answer:
Little babies start to babble and say a few simple words when they are around one year old. If they still cannot speak by the age of two or three, it is medically referred to as speech and language delay, commonly known as speech delay. There are many reasons for speech delay, influenced by physiological, psychological, social, and other factors.
