When Should a Toddler Start Talking?
Toddlers develop at different rates, but there are useful milestones that help identify when extra support may be needed.
General milestones
- By around 12 months: first words and communicative gestures.
- By around 18 months: growing word use and understanding.
- By around 2 years: combining words into simple phrases.
- By around 3 years: clearer sentences and stronger understanding.
When milestones are delayed or communication is frustrating, an assessment can help map clear next steps.
