4. Delay in speech
is another symptom that parents need to check out for when it comes to the condition. A child may not talk at all or not that much. When a child does speak, it’s at a minimum. Speech therapists come in handy when a child has speech disorders. Pediatricians, parents, and other specialists may believe that a child is just quiet when in fact the child has Angelman syndrome.
It’s important that a child with a speech impairment is properly diagnosed because giving a child a lot of medication may not make the condition any better. In fact, it may make it worse. With Angelman syndrome, the proper medication is given in conjunction with the child getting treatment by the right specialists. Once a child is old enough to go to school, the child will more than likely be placed in a special education class with other children with impairments.
