How To Diagnose And Treat Echolalia

Echolalia is a condition in which children repeat back sounds, words, or other vocalizations for no apparent reason. It is very common for young children to use this method of communication as they are learning and developing language. The problem, however, arises when the child continues to use this form of communication. There are various reasons a child might develop echolalia, including brain damage and delayed speech. Some might think the way a child is cute by not answering questions properly. It is all part of being a toddler.
