Delayed psychospeech development

How to determine the ZPRD

Experienced doctors will help to quickly identify the problem, but this requires timely treatment. Diagnosis of a problem condition begins with the observation of a child who, depending on age, may show certain deviations:

• At 4 months, the baby reacts poorly or does not respond at all to surrounding sounds, does not recognize the voices of parents, does not smile. In this case, treatment with elements of autism may be required, since these symptoms indicate the disease.
• At the age of 8-9 months, the child does not repeat the same syllables (does not babble).
• In 1 year, the baby can not produce sounds, almost all the time is silent.
• At the age of 1.5 years, he does not perceive words, does not speak simple words.«give»or«mother». He often doesn't chew well.
• At the age of 2, the child has an exceptionally poor vocabulary, does not duplicate the words heard from others.
• At the age of 2.5 years, vocabulary does not exceed 20 words. There are difficulties with the compilation of phrases and sentences, the child can not name the objects surrounding him.
• At the onset of 3 years, the child does not speak sentences, does not understand what they are telling him. He can speak very quickly and incomprehensibly, usually only parents understand him. When you speak to him, he can literally repeat the short phrase he heard.

Problems with speech development are often accompanied by symptoms such as hyperactivity, low attention, memory and cognitive abilities. Rough delay of psychoverbal development in children is often characterized by a constantly ajared mouth, which is accompanied by involuntary salivation.

How the treatment works

Treatment of children with a pronounced delay in the pace of psychospeech development is carried out using a set of therapeutic and biophysical techniques, where medicines and modern equipment are used. Regular classes with a speech therapist and a defectologist are necessarily carried out, aimed at the development of fine motor skills of facial and speech muscles, cognitive abilities, attention and memory. Among the special methods, the following can be distinguished:

• Transcranial micropolarization–modern technology, which by using small currents affects different parts of the CNS. Electrical impulses help restore the work of the parts of the nervous system responsible for the formation of speech.
• The rate of delay in psychoverbal development in children 3 years is associated with weakness of the corresponding muscle groups. In this case, speech therapy helps, strengthening them and facilitating the pronunciation of sound combinations.
• Drug therapy. It is prescribed by a neurologist or psychiatrist after making a diagnosis and determining a treatment plan. Preliminary it is recommended to do tomography, EEG and other examinations to choose the most effective combinations of drugs at a minimum dosage.
• ZPRD in a child 5 years and older is often accompanied by problems with socialization and a psychologist will help here, as well as techniques that include play and music therapy, regular conversations and testing.

Results of treatment

Work with specialized specialists is aimed at reducing or completely leveling the backlog of the child from peers. Here the main thing is to contact the medical center in time, where they offer effective help. For example, psychoverbal developmental delay in a child at 4 years old is removed much longer than in younger children. After the course, there are other positive results:

• The child coherently expresses his thoughts, which has a beneficial effect on his cognitive abilities.
• Memory and concentration improve.
