Are you wondering if your toddler is on target in their speech and language development? Are you concerned that they aren’t using words or only have a few? I have been working as a speech language pathologist with toddlers for over 16 years and it is exciting to see how this age group learns language! First, remember that all children develop differently and some children will take a little longer to acquire language.
Below are lists of behaviors that your child will probably have as a 1 1/2, 2 and 2/ 1/2 year old. If you have concerns that your child is delayed in this area consider consulting with a speech-language pathologist for further guidance. Most states have Early Intervention Agencies that can help! These agencies work with children under 3 and often provide their services for free.
