POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. A delay in speech development may be a symptom of many disorders, including mental retardation, hearing loss, an expressive language disorder, psychosocial deprivation, autism, elective mutism, receptive aphasia and cerebral palsy. Speech delay may be secondary to maturation delay or bilingualism., babies are born talking. The first meaningful word emerges between eight to 15 months. Therefore, if your child has no expressive language words by the time he/she is 16 months old, then it is time for concern and you should discuss this with your paediatrician.If a 16 month old is not talking at although, it would be considered a developmental expressive communication delay. If a 16 month old is saying less than 30 words spontaneously they would definitely be considered to be at risk of being a late talker for his or her age.
