Speech, language and communication are related to how an individual communicates and understands others. Accordingly, assessing language and communication skills in children includes both expressive and receptive language. By examining these skills during regular health check-ups, children will be assessed for their overall age-appropriate development, as well as early detection of abnormalities and help children speak faster.

Autism can cause children to have speech delays, difficulty talking, or major communication problems. Early diagnosis and treatment of autism can help children significantly improve their language skills. Currently, speech therapy is considered the most common autism treatment, helping children solve problems with speech and social communication.
