Speech and Language Milestones

Pregnant mom with toddlers

In the first three years of life, children have an intensive period of absorbing sights and sounds, including language. Yet speech and language develop more quickly for some children and more slowly for others. As a parent, how do you know if your child is on track?

If you suspect that your child has a speech delay or difficulty understanding or communicating, there are resources available that can help.
