What is a late-talker?

Written By Taylor Soave

A “late talker” is a toddler betwen 18 and 30 months who

  • understands language well

  • is developing typically in areas like play, motor skills, and social interaction

    BUT

  • uses fewer words than expected for their age

Does a “late-talker” need speech therapy? A Speech-Language Pathologist can answer that. A speech therapist can work with your child AND support parents with simple, fun strategies to help boost their child’s language skills and confidence right at home!
