Children develop speech and language skills at different rates. Health professionals use lists of milestones — what is typical at each age — to tell whether a child is on track or may need extra help. For example, by the first birthday a child usually says one or two words, such as "Hi," "dog," "Dada" or "Mama."
What can cause a delay
| Cause | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| Hearing loss | sometimes the cause of a delay |
| Speech disorder | trouble making speech sounds correctly; hesitating or stuttering |
| Language disorder | trouble understanding what others say, or sharing thoughts |
What to do
If you are concerned about your child's speech or language, talk to your child's health care provider.
