hello Ma'am/Sir, we are based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I have a 2 years 4 months old son who doesnt speak anything except mama, baba, dada, bhai, didi etc... I am seeing a speech and swallow speacialist in Riyadh for last 4 months but no improvements. the advised us to speak with him in only one language, so we speak only hindi. on last visit the dr. asked us to see a speech therapist but hte problem is there are no speech therapist of hindi language in Riyadh. his hearing test was done which was fine, the boy is active, healthy and takes instruction but just vant speak. please advise what shall I do.

Ans: No screen time for him. Read stories to him. Put up charts of words with pictures and read out a word everyday till he learns that and then move to the next word. When he points to something, say the word and encourage him to speak the word.
Try to have online consultation with speech therapist based in India who you can visit when you come here

Question by Amit - May 19, 2023Hindi

Health

Kind attention Rediff Gurus : My 2 year old son clearly speaks Mummy and Papa but struggles to talk/utter other things. We are also not able to understand what exactly he wants and then he starts crying badly. Does he need any medical attention. My elder son started talking when he was just 1.5 years old. Kindly suggest

Ans: When the language does not develop in time,the child develops other alternative ways to communicate.
Since the child has a behaviour of crying to get the things, it is a clear indication that child s behaviour is unknowingly getting reinforced by providing the desired items. Start with the labelling of things by giving him appropriate words so that he understands that he can use the words instead of crying.
Also monitor how much screen time is being given to him.
Development of language happens only when the child has the pre-requisites , check that too.

Hello dr. My son is 2.9 year old and till now he doesn't speak a word but does the babbling sounds like Mama baba etc. and he only listens to his parents only. He os not listening to his teachers. We have conducted the BERA test also but the reports were normal as he is not having any hearing problem. Please advise me what to do as he has been expelled from his Playschool and the school staff is saying that my son is not able to hear properly and i told them that we have done BERA test but the school authorities are saying that you have to conduct more tests and from a single test we cannot identify his problem. So can you please specify what to do?

Ans: If he has been exposed to a lot of screen time then that is known to delay speech. He needs a proper evaluation with an audiologist for any hearing defect. After that, speech therapy has to be started. Obviously, no screen time at all hence forth

Question by Mutahhir - Jan 10, 2024Hindi

Health

My son is 2 years 2 months old. He weighs about 11 kg now and is pretty active. We are worried about his speech delay. He is not saying any words. He is only blabbering and trying to make sounds like 'appa' 'oooo' 'abba' and 'mamama'. He screams and says nothing else. We have shown him to a peadtrician, ENT and psychiatrist. They say it's normal. We have also done BERA test and result were normal. Doctors have advised us to reduce screen time for the baby and train him at home. As prescribed by doctors we are giving him omega 3 syrup and Iron supplements. Is there anything we are missing out on? Should we be worried? Is there any other specialist that we should consult. Kindly guide us.

Ans: Screen time for a 2 year old should be zero
Read stories to him, show him charts and books with single words with pictures. No tv too even during meal times. No mobiles or tablets at all
A speech therapist will be able to help

My grand son is now 5 Yes. old. He is healthy and active but he does not speak. Though he has no hearing problem but does not respond when we try to alert him. He is taken to a place in Goregaon for more than 6 months for speech therapy but there is no distinct progress towards his speaking skill. We need the advice & opinion of an expert in this matter so that he may start speaking and communicate with others. We are much worried about his schooling which is getting delayed. My question to expert is to find a suitable speech therapist for my child who may be helpful in this regard. Thanks.

Ans: You can visit a hospital and consult a developmental pediatrician for further testing

Hello sir, my daughter currently pursuing bams final year after that there will be internship of one year. But she is not intersted in bams at all so what would be other career options for her in future ? And if I insist her to do PG in Bams then how much she earn she doesnot want to do government job ,then what will she can do after that.?

Ans: When she is not interested in BAMS then when did she take admission. It's a professional course. In non professional course it can be managed. But in professional course if one can't accept it then it becomes dangerous for the career and he/she is bound to fail in that line. So never allow her to pursue PG. After completion of BAMS let her decide whether she wants to do a admin job or not. If yes then let her pursue MBA. She can do MBA in hospital management. If she doesn't want the atmosphere of Hospital then she can choose other streams like HR/Finance/Operation etc. Just follow me. Best of luck. MAY GOD BLESS HER. Professor......................:)
