When should I be concerned about my
child’s speech and language development?
Age two:
- Child does not yet produce
two-word sentences, i.e. “want juice”
- Does not understand simple
directions
Age three:
- Child does not ask questions
- Does not produce short sentences
- Does not answer simple questions
- Words are not clearly spoken
- Gives the impression that he/she is
struggling to talk
Age four:
- Child’s speech is not easily understood
by listeners
School age:
- Child still uses incomplete sentences or
sentences with grammatical errors
- Has difficulty following directions
- Experiences difficulty communicating with
friends
If at anytime your child has been stuttering for
more than 4-6 months.
If any of the above is applicable to your child, do not hesitate to
contact a speech-language pathologist. Early detection is vital!
