In this video, I will teach you 10 signs of a potential speech delay in 18 month olds. I begin with 5 signs of a speech and language delay related to a child’s expression, which includes which words an 18 month old says and what sounds they make. Then I share 5 signs of a potential delay in an 18 month old’s understanding skills. By the end of the video you’ll have a general understanding of what speech therapists are looking for in 18 month old’s’ talking, understanding, and pronunciation skills. Plus I’ll show you how you can find support for your child if you think they might be delayed in their speech development.
