Prevalence of Language Delay in Children Under Five Years of Age in Taif, Saudi Arabia
The majority of children exhibited communication development on schedule according to ASQ communication scores. However, approximately one-fifth of children raised concerns that warranted further evaluation. A higher percentage of children in the youngest age groups (1-2 months and 29-34 months) required professional evaluation, monitoring, or intervention.
