Though it is not possible to avoid speech disorders altogether, we can take some measures as prevention. 

• Since a child learns speech by listening, parents act as the first teacher for their children. Hence talk to your infants, read them stories, etc. Hearing speech is beneficial to your newborns. Respond to your baby’s babbling. Make sure you answer your kid as they grow up.
• Encourage your child to speak more but do not force. Parents should also talk a lot to their tiny babies.
• Be vigilant of your child’s milestone development. If you notice any speech development delay, consult a specialist at the earliest.
• Set a milestone. An infant should be able to babble by nine months, say ‘momma,’ and ‘dadda’ by one year of age. Their speech should be understandable to strangers by three to four years.
• If you feel your baby has hearing problems or low intelligence, consult a doctor for timely treatment and speech therapy.
• Seek early treatment for a better prognosis.
