What behavior may indicate the need for a child to be referred for a speech-language evaluation?

  1. Excessive talking during class

  2. Having difficulty comprehending words and concepts

  3. Displaying advanced vocabulary for their age

  4. Being shy and not participating in verbal activities

The correct answer is: Having difficulty comprehending words and concepts

Having difficulty comprehending words and concepts is a key behavior that can indicate the need for a speech-language evaluation. This type of difficulty may manifest in various ways, such as the child struggling to understand spoken instructions, having trouble following along during discussions, or exhibiting challenges in grasping new vocabulary and ideas. These comprehension issues can significantly affect a child's academic performance and social interactions. Proper understanding of language is crucial for effective communication, learning, and development. By identifying such difficulties early, speech-language pathologists can provide appropriate interventions to support the child's communication skills and overall learning.
