Delayed Language Development in Children with Bronchial Asthma Aged 2-5 Years Old

Abstract

Delayed language development (DLD) is common among toddlers and preschool-aged children. Pediatricians are critical in identifying, evaluating, and managing children who have these delays and diseases. To ascertain parental concerns regarding delayed language development, an initial and continuous examination of language utilizing particular screening tests or parent report inventories should be performed. About sixty percent of all asthmatic children’ caregivers aged 2-5 years old either controlled or uncontrolled had accepted to sign the consent form to be enrolled in the study. The children who were enrolled in the study came to receive asthmatic treatment and follow-up services done along 12 months. Children with mental retardation or any other medical illness rather than bronchial asthma, psychological illness, or sensory impairment (e.g., Hearing impairment) were excluded.
