Track Your Child’s Speech & Language Development with This Free Checklist
Is your child’s speech developing on track? As parents, we know how important it is to monitor milestones during the early years of life. Speech and language development is a critical part of your child’s growth, and recognizing the signs of potential delays can make a world of difference. To make this easier, we’ve created a free Speech & Language Milestone Checklist for children ages 2–6. This guide outlines typical milestones for each age, along with red flags that signal when to seek professional support.
