Children differ in their development of speech and language skills. However, they do follow a natural progression for mastering these skills. We have created a checklist of milestones for the typical development of speech and language skills in children from birth to 5 years. These milestones can help determine if a child is on track or if he or she may need extra help. If after reviewing these milestones and warning signs, you would like a professional assessment, please contact us.
