Speech delay is one of the most common developmental concerns among parents. A child is said to have a speech delay when they are not meeting the expected milestones for their age in terms of speech and language development.Signs of Speech Delay By 12 months, most children can say at least one word. By 18 months, they typically have a vocabulary of about 20 words. By age 2, most children can form two-word phrases. If your child is significantly behind these milestones, it may indicate a speech delay.When to Seek HelpEarly intervention is key. If you notice your child is not babbling by 12 months, not using gestures, or has difficulty understanding simple instructions, consult a speech-language pathologist. At Pranava Rehab Care, we provide comprehensive speech evaluations and personalized therapy plans.
