Speech Therapy for Toddlers

The toddler years are a critical period for speech and language development. Between 12 and 24 months, children typically go from saying their first words to combining words into simple phrases. Early intervention during this time can make a significant difference in your child's communication journey.

Common Concerns

Signs to watch for in toddlers

  • !Limited vocabulary (fewer than 50 words by 18 months)
  • !Not combining words by age 2
  • !Difficulty being understood by familiar adults
  • !Not responding to their name consistently
  • !Limited babbling or speech attempts
  • !Not pointing or using gestures to communicate
  • !Frustration when trying to communicate needs

If you notice any of these signs, a speech-language evaluation can help determine if therapy would benefit your child.
