About This Lesson
Language deficits are common developmental delays. Studies find that about 1 of every 5 children will learn to talk or use words later than others their age. A new study compared toddlers whose parents participated in a language intervention training program to those whose parents did not. The research suggests that parents can promote language development by allowing for pauses in conversations to give children a turn to talk, responding to children's sounds with single words or simple phrases, and reading frequently.
