On average kids begin using their first words at around 12-18 months of age. There’s a steep growth in language with toddlers generally using around 50 single words and beginning to combine two words together.
Research tells us that early intervention can make a big difference to their future development, so if your child is behind in their milestones getting help sooner rather than later is advised.
Our team of certified practicing speech pathologists are here to answer your questions and to help your toddler learn their first words. If you’re not sure whether your child needs speech therapy and would like professional advice you can book in for an initial consultation. We can offer a series of intermittent parent strategy sessions if this is what would be of most benefit to your family.
