Early Warning Signs of a Speech Delay for 18+ Months

Speech, or articulation, refers to the way we say sounds. It’s normal for children to have some errors in their speech, and these errors can be classified as developmental or non-developmental errors. Developmental errors are errors that are appropriate based on the child’s age (i.e. a four year old saying, “wun” for “run”) and frequently resolve as the child gets older, however non-developmental errors need to be addressed via speech therapy.
