Young children often guess what you mean from context, gestures, and routines rather than actually understanding words. A six-month delay in comprehension is the typical threshold for seeing a speech therapist.
Six months delay of comprehension.
Comprehension. This is something that you have to see a speech therapist to kind of understand more. Because if I tell you, it will be difficult, because most of the time, parents, when they talk to their kids, they use a lot of gestures that they're not aware of. And kids use a lot of their eyes to understand the context of a situation and guess what's going on. Even if they cannot understand fully what you're saying, they can probably guess because of the time of the day, what you're doing, what smell is going on, like if you're cooking. Right. These are contextual cues. So. So it's very difficult to tell you what to look out for comprehension. But usually we would say that anyone who has six months delay of comprehension needs some sort of intervention. So go see a speech therapist. To really understand about what type of comprehension problems your child has.
