Expert Speech Therapist Yasemin Tekin made vital warnings about the technology products that have taken up a large part of our lives, especially in recent years.
While there was only a television in the past, today we are surrounded by countless technological materials such as smartphones, tablets, laptops. Stating that we have come to this point and that this poses threats mostly to children, Tekin said, "Especially if there are people around you who have difficulty speaking and whose language and speech development has not been completed in the last 15-20 years, the main reason is these devices." USE OF THOSE DEVICES IS NOT AN INDICATION OF INTELLIGENCE''...
Since such technological devices are designed to be used by everyone, the use of these devices by children is not a sign of intelligence,' Tekin said in his statement. Its use in the pre-teen period, which is between the ages of 0-5, negatively affects the child's cognitive and language-speech development. On the contrary, the unilateral sounds produced by these devices will turn into background noise in children after a certain period of time, which will fill the empty consciousness of children. Since children only use receptive language on devices that hinder communication, such as television, their expressive language does not develop. This causes delayed language and speech. Since their empty consciousness is filled with a lot of unnecessary information, other problems arise such as difficulty in making eye contact, paying attention, perceiving what is said, and communicating. p>
Emphasizing that the effects of such devices are not only limited to speech, but also seriously increase the symptoms of autism in children, Tekin completed the warnings as follows: "Autism begins before the age of three and lasts a lifetime, damaging social interaction and communication. It is a disorder that prevents brain development and causes repetitive behaviors. Not only the child who suffers from the disease, but also his entire family has to suffer from this problem for the rest of his life.
