Why can't children with cerebral palsy speak

summary

I remember when I was a child, my neighbor's son was a child with cerebral palsy. When he was six years old, he just babbled and couldn't speak. He had to be held when he went to the toilet, just like he was just born. Driven by curiosity, we asked why children with cerebral palsy can't speak. He told us the doctor's original words. Now I'll tell you why children with cerebral palsy can't speak.

Why can't children with cerebral palsy speak

First, the reason why children with cerebral palsy can't speak is that cerebral palsy leads to hearing problems in children. Due to various reasons, hearing impairment and speech development are affected. It can be seen that deafness speech delay is the most common one.

Second, simple speech retardation. This kind of children's hearing and intelligence are normal, and there are no obvious abnormalities in other physical examinations, but when they are old enough to speak, they can understand other people's speech.

Third: there are still some children with cerebral palsy because of their low level of intelligence, which shows the language barrier. Most of the intellectual disabilities are abnormal brain development, so the process of language learning will be obviously affected. Most of the severe intellectual disabilities can't speak, while the mild intellectual disabilities children.

matters needing attention

But not all children with cerebral palsy can't speak, so there are ways to follow. It's better to consult the doctor patiently. Maybe one day he will speak. The more serious cases are easier to diagnose, and the less serious cases need to be evaluated for mental and intellectual development first. The diagnosis should be very careful.
