Speech Delay Treatment

Is Your Toddler Showing Signs of Speech Delay?

Some toddlers need a little more support developing their speech and language. You might notice:

  • Limited vocabulary for their age
  • Difficulty forming words or short sentences
  • Lack of eye contact or gestures when communicating
  • Frequent frustration or meltdowns due to not being understood
  • Silence or minimal babbling past the age of 18 months

These signs can be stressful for any parent. That’s why we’re here to help—by giving you the skills and support to take action.

FAQs

Most toddlers say their first words between 12 and 18 months. If your child isn’t using words by 18 months or has fewer than 50 words by age 2, it’s worth getting an evaluation.

Some children do catch up on their own, but not all. Waiting too long can make things harder later. Early support gives your child the best chance to thrive socially and academically.

Not likely. Many children make strong progress in a few months when given consistent support. The goal is to help them communicate confidently and reduce frustration early on.
