Every toddler develops at their own pace, so it’s normal to wonder whether to act or wait. A few general signposts: by age 2, many children use around 50 words and start putting two words together, and a stranger can understand about half of what they say. By age 3, they’re often understood most of the time.
If your child is behind on these, getting frustrated trying to communicate, or you just have a nagging feeling — that’s reason enough to check. You don’t need a referral or a diagnosis to ask. A free 15-minute consult will tell you whether your child is on track or whether an assessment makes sense.
Frequently asked questions:
Is it better to wait and see?
Sometimes a short wait is fine — but the only way to know is to check. Early support, when it’s needed, is more effective than waiting.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No. You can book a free consult directly with us.
What happens in an assessment?
We look at your child’s speech and language strengths and needs, then give you clear recommendations — including whether therapy is even needed.
