One of the most common speech development disorders in children is alalia, in which the child cannot master the language due to damage to the nervous system. This was told socialbites.ca by Professor Leonid Chutko, head of the Center for Behavioral Neurology, head of the laboratory for correction of mental development and adaptation of the Human Brain Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
“One of the most common types of delay in speech development is alalia, which is the absence or underdevelopment of speech, which occurs as a result of damage to the central nervous system. Depending on which speech centers are affected, they distinguish between motor (expressive) alalia, in which there is persistent underdevelopment of speech with partially preserved understanding of someone else’s speech, and sensory (expressive) alalia, in which speech understanding is primarily impaired, ”explained. HE.
Chutko added that mixed sensorimotor alalia is common. The child cannot master the language – he cannot find sounds, words, grammar, the correct sequence of sounds in a word. Vocabulary develops slowly in children with Alalia.
