One of the most critical developmental milestones for children is speech and language. However, not all children develop these skills at the same rate, and for some, delays can occur. Understanding the signs of a speech delay and knowing when to seek help can make a significant difference in a child’s communication abilities. In this article, we’ll discuss the typical speech development timeline, how to spot early signs of speech delay, and what steps parents can take if they have concerns. Early intervention is key to helping children overcome speech challenges and reach their full potential, and we will explore the types of assessments and therapies that can support their progress.
