Today's topic: "He can say some words, sometimes sentences. But he has trouble understanding spoken language. Sometimes I think he doesn't even understand what I'm saying. What should I do? Is this a speech delay or a mental retardation?" — let's figure it out.

ZPRR – Delayed psychoverbal development in children
ZPR – Delayed mental retardation (reduced intellectual functioning)

As part of the Focus Group, I decided to create YouTube discussions for you about "I Want Speech" and various situations. Each session features a real-life case from my practice, which can help you figure out what you need to pay attention to now. Parents often ask me, "Should I be worried?" I believe it's easier to prevent a problem than to solve it later. Draw your own conclusions. Enjoy watching.
