Speech delay in toddlers is rising in Hyderabad. Learn why it’s happening, what signs to watch for, and how Pinnacle’s AbilityScore can help.
👶 “She’s 2.5 and Still Not Talking. Is That Normal?”
If you’ve ever thought this — you’re not alone.
In cities like Hyderabad, especially across North, South, East, West, and Central zones, speech delay among toddlers is becoming alarmingly common. Pediatricians, teachers, and therapists are reporting a 30–50% rise in delayed speech milestones post-pandemic.
But why is this happening? And what can parents do before it’s too late?
📉 What the Experts Are Seeing
Leading speech therapists at Pinnacleblooms.org explain that increased screen time, reduced peer interaction, and late intervention are driving the surge in delays.
“We’re seeing 2-year-olds who don’t babble, don’t respond to names, and haven’t said a single word,”
says Dr. Pravalika, Speech-Language Pathologist at Pinnacle, hyderabad East.
🧩 Is It Just a Phase or a red Flag?
Here’s what to watch for in children between 1.5 and 3 years:
- No babbling by 12 months
- Not pointing, waving, or making eye contact
- Only uses gestures, no spoken words
- Repeats words instead of using them (echolalia)
- Doesn’t follow basic commands like “Give me the ball”
If your child shows 2 or more of these signs — experts strongly recommend immediate developmental screening.
