We often talk about kids who are later to begin speaking as “speech delayed” but did you know that usually, it’s not a speech delay- it’s actually a language delay. That’s because speech and language are two very different things!

This is very oversimplified, but here are some common speech delays and disorders: articulation, phonology, apraxia, & stuttering. Some common language based delays and disorders are: expressive language, receptive language, pragmatic language (this is how a lot of autistic kids qualify for speech support), and even some learning disorders like dyslexia are language based.

You can have great speech skills and have difficult with language (a child who can repeat everything and needs support generating their own comments) or have good language skills and have difficulty with speech (a person who communicates with sign language or AAC) - and a person can also have difficulty in both areas.
