Developmental Milestones
Do you ever wonder if your child is reaching the speech/language/talking milestones at the appropriate age? Identifying a speech and/or language delay at a young age allows time for intervention and therapy with a speech-language pathologist.

This information represents, on average, the age by which most monolingual speaking children will accomplish the listed milestones. Children typically do not master all items in a category until they reach the upper age in each age range. Just because your child has not accomplished one skill within an age range does not mean your child has a disorder.
