Expressive Language Milestones

Introduction

All children develop at different rates and so reaching milestones slower or faster than peers does not necessarily mean that there is a concern. Differences of up to 12 months are very normal. However, it can help to identify areas where a child may warrant some additional support particularly when more than 18 months off a chronological milestone. Social factors play a big role in the development of language skills and those children exposed to a greater range of language and vocabulary will often develop faster.
