Understanding Language (Instructions & Questions)

What if my child doesn't respond to words?

It may be that words aren't yet connected to their meanings. Talking while showing gestures, real objects, or photos helps understanding grow. If your child rarely responds to being called at all, having their hearing checked once at an ENT clinic can give you peace of mind.
