Communication Milestones 0 - 5 Years

Children all grow differently.  It can be difficult for parents and caregivers to know whether their child needs speech therapy.  

 

Communication milestones tell us when children are expected to be able to do certain things.  If a child misses one or more of these milestones, it means they might need some additional support.  

Speech Sound Development

Of course, children are not born with all of their speech sounds.  These develop over time, starting with sounds like p and b. Children’s speech sounds develop in a fairly predictable sequence.  Have a listen to your child’s speech. If you notice that your child isn’t using one or more of these sounds and they should be – contact us to see if your child would benefit from speech therapy.
