Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the play based therapy and functional communication training in speech-language delayed children 2-6 years old. This study will highlight the most effective intervention or therapy for Speech & Language Delayed Children.

Detailed Description
Speech is the verbal production of language, whereas language is the conceptual processing of communication. Language includes receptive language (understanding) and expressive language (the ability to convey information, feelings, thoughts, and ideas). Language is commonly thought of in its spoken form, but may also include a visual form, such as American Sign Language. Speech and language delay in children is associated with increased difficulty with reading, writing, attention, and socialization. In children not meeting the expected milestones for speech and language, a comprehensive developmental evaluation is essential, because atypical language development can be a secondary characteristic of other physical and developmental problems that may first manifest as language problems.
