Critical Milestones for Toddlers

Contact us to discuss your concern

Children who have not reached the following milestones should be seen by a Speech-Language Therapist:
​

By 18 months
Children should use at least 20 words including nouns, verbs, prepositions, adjectives and social words.


By 24 months
Children should use at least 100 words, be combining 2 words together, and be using at least 2 verbs.  Word combinations should be actively generated by the child, e.g.:  "More drink" or "Mummy gone."  (Memorised expressions do not count, e.g.: "What’s that?" and  "Yes please" and "Bye-bye")


By 30 months 
Children should use a minimum of 2 early sentences (including both a subject and a verb) inside half an hour’s play time with a parent.  They should be building their own sentences rather than using mostly memorised expressions.
