    Abstract:
    Speech and language development is a sensitive and important diagnostic tool for the family physician. Speech defects and delayed speech and language development can be the presenting evidence for neurologic abnormalities, cognitive difficulties and abnormal hearing. They can also be signs of emotional, social, family and behavioral problems. Finally, they can signify the need for evaluation of abnormalities of tracheal and laryngeal function and oral-motor development.
