My medical assistant put the chart on my desk. ayour next patient is in room five, Dr. Cohen. Her name is Taylor and a”sheas a cutie!a

aThanks, Mary,a I said, pulling up Tayloras medical record on my desktop computer. I glanced at the consultation request: Six-year-old girl with speech problem. As a developmental pediatrician, I am often called on to evaluate childrenas speech and language. Those are among the most complex tasks the young brain has to master, so itas no wonder many childhood disorders express themselves in those areas. Kids with developmental delay or autism commonly show up in the pediatricianas office with a parent who simply says, aMy child isnat talking.a

When I opened the door to the examining room, I saw a petite girl with long, blond hair sitting very still on the exam table. She wore a purple jumper over a short-sleeved white blouse, and her hair was tied at the back with a ribbon that matched her dress. She was deeply engrossed in reading a Dr. Seuss book. She looked up at me and smiled.

aHi,a I said. aIam Dr. Cohen. Whatas your name?a

The girl continued to smile, but she didnat say anything and quickly went back to her reading. Hmmm. Could just be a shy one, I thought. I turned to her mother.

aI understand your daughter is having some problems with her speech. Can you tell me what your concerns are?a

The mother was also petite and neatly dressed. She looked directly at me and said, aWell, she seems to have trouble talking.a

OK, maybe I was wrong. This was probably a child with some articulation problems. aWhat kind of trouble?a I asked.

The young woman grimaced slightly before answering. aWell, she, uha|she doesnat talk.a
