This may be classified as a mood disorder and manifests itself in the child by not understanding enough about the nature of the child’s disability. The entire family may pitch in to help understand the child’s condition and help boost his/her confidence. Role playing to help the child see the situation he/she is in may help in a big way to increase confidence and self-esteem.

Children who look normal until 15-18months and then regress must undergo extensive behavior therapy as early as possible. This will have a big impact on how his behavior modification will propel him/her to speak normally. They key is early diagnosis and early intervention. If you notice regression in the child, with speech delay then intervention must not focus on speech therapy alone, but rather the child must be exposed to extensive behavior modification to be able to acquire speech. It is all interconnected.
