Early Language & Late Talkers

Children develop language at different rates. Some children may use fewer words, have difficulty combining words, or communicate primarily through gestures or other means.

Therapy can focus on supporting functional communication, vocabulary, understanding language, early word combinations, and caregiver strategies.
