    Answer:
Children vary in their development of speech and language. There is, however, a natural progression or "timetable" for mastery of these skills for each language. The milestones are identifiable skills that can serve as a guide to normal development. Typically, simple skills need to be reached before the more complex skills can be learned. There is a general age and time when most children pass through these periods. These milestones help doctors and other health professionals determine when a child may need extra help to learn to speak or to use language.

How do I know if my child is reaching the milestones?

The following links will send you to a checklist that can determine if your child's speech and language skills are developing on schedule. Choose the appropriate age bracket for your child. You should talk to your child's doctor about anything that is checked "no."
