@malaikapaedeatricclinic: Does your child have a speech delay? It could be linked to an underlying condition. 🗣️💚 Speech delays are common – but they are not always just a matter of "waiting it out." Sometimes, there's a root cause that needs attention. Conditions that can cause speech delay include: 🧠 Autism Spectrum Disorder – difficulties with social communication and language 🎯 ADHD – inattention and impulsivity can affect language development 👂 Hearing loss – even mild hearing loss can delay speech 🧬 Genetic conditions – such as Down syndrome 🧩 Developmental delays – global delays affecting multiple areas 💪 Cerebral palsy – motor difficulties affecting speech muscles 🗣️ Oral-motor issues – weak tongue or lip muscles, tongue-tie 🦠 Chronic ear infections – fluid in the ear can muffle sounds 🧠 Intellectual disability – affects learning and language The good news? Early intervention works. The earlier we identify the cause, the sooner we can help your child communicate. At Malaika Paediatric Clinic, we have a speech therapist who can assess your child, identify the root cause, and create a personalised therapy plan. You don't need a diagnosis to see us. Just bring your child and your questions. 💚 📍 Eastern Bypass, Ruiru Kamakis – Naivas Building, 2nd Floor 📞 Call/WhatsApp: 0700208825 / 0721494021 Let's unlock your child's voice together. 💚 #SpeechDelay #SpeechTherapy #MalaikaPaediatricClinic
