“Do kids with speech issues often have difficulty sleeping?”
My 11 year old daughter has speech delays and trouble sleeping. Do kids with speech issues often have difficulty sleeping?

If speech issues are due to craniofacial abnormalities this could also cause sleep apnea. Nasal allergies can cause speech and sleep problems.
It depends on what the concerns are. Sometimes they can be associated; however, that is not always the case.
Speech delays do not directly cause difficulty sleeping. However, an underlying medical cause issues with sleeping as well as speech sound production.
