In the first five years of life, your child’s brain is developing rapidly. This means that their ability to communicate in various ways is also developing rapidly. Children develop language according to specific ages and stages. As communication development occurs, your child may experience challenges. Below is a communication checklist that will help determine if your child is communicating like other children their age. It is important to note that if your child doesn’t develop one skill at their age range, it doesn’t necessarily mean there is a concern. If you notice that your child is struggling with meeting more than one communication milestone in their age range, contact a Speech Language Pathologist at Oxford Speech Plus to book an assessment today.
