HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MY CHILD SHOULD BE DOING?

Explore the information provided about speech and language development. Remember that norms provide general guidelines on the progression of skills and average ages in which most children achieve each skill, but all children learn and grow at their own pace. YOU ARE THE EXPERT ON YOUR CHILD. If something doesn’t feel right or you have questions, reach out to a speech language pathologist for an evaluation of your child’s unique strengths and needs.
