Introduction
Speech and language develop quickly in the early years, but the pace varies widely. Some children chatter early; others take their time and then catch up in a rush.
Signs Worth a Conversation
- Very few words by around age two
- Difficulty being understood by familiar adults
- Trouble following simple, one-step instructions
- Little interest in pointing, gesturing or imitating sounds
- Frustration when trying to communicate
How an Assessment Helps
A friendly assessment is never about labelling a child — it's about understanding how they communicate today, and giving them playful tools to grow.
Final Thoughts
Earlier support tends to be easier and faster. If something feels off, a quick check-in with a speech-language specialist can bring real peace of mind.
