 |
| Learning to communicate is a complicated process which most of us take for granted. At some level, frustration is to be expected. However, it has been estimated that 2% of children born each year will have a disabling condition. Many of these children will exprience speech and language delays or disorders that will significantly impact their social, academic and vocational opportunities.
|
| Parents of these children are often met with conflicting advice from well meaning friends and professionals. |
|
 |
| Children vary in their development of speech and language. There is, however, a natural progression or "timetable" for mastery of these skills for each language. The milestones are identifiable skills that can serve as a guide to normal development. Typically, simple skills need to be reached before the more complex skills can be learned. There is a general age and time when most children pass through these periods. These milestones help doctors and other health professionals determine when a child may need extra help to learn to speak or to use language. |
 |
| Here is a checklist that you can follow to determine if your child's speech and language skills are developing on schedule. You should talk to your child's doctor about anything that is checked "no."
