Language developmental delay may manifest as slow speech, which could be related to intellectual development and certain underlying conditions. It may also present as a lack of interest in communication with others, along with poor speaking and comprehension abilities. Additionally, some children may exhibit poor motor skills. When such symptoms occur, caution is warranted and prompt medical evaluation is recommended.
