Understanding Speech and Language Delays
How Are Speech and Language Different? What Are Speech or Language Delays?
Here is an interesting article from KidsHealth for anyone concerned about their child’s speech and language development.
As with other skills and milestones, the age at which kids learn language and start talking can vary. Many babies happily babble “mama” and “dada” well before their first birthday, and most toddlers can say about 20 words by the time they’re 18 months old. But what if a 2-year-old isn’t really talking yet or only puts two words together?
Knowing what’s “normal” and what’s not in speech and language development can help parents figure out if there’s cause for concern or if their child is right on schedule.
