Is Medical Intervention Required For Speech Impairment In A Toddler?
My 2 1/2 year old grandson rarely looks at us in the eye. His speech is somewhat less than other children his age. He could stay with an electronic device 24/7. To get him to eat his parents give him an iPad and feed him while he s to distracted to not eat. He bites his nails to the point they are bleeding. I m am a teacher and his tantrums among other things resembles autistic children I have worked with. Do you see a need for professional intervention and if so what?
