Language Milestones

Language milestones are key stages in a child's ability to understand and use language, helping track their communication development. These milestones include early sounds and gestures, recognizing words, forming simple sentences, and gradually more complex speaking abilities. They vary by child but follow a general timeline, such as first words around age one, combining words by age two, and developing more complex sentences afterward. These milestones help caregivers and professionals identify typical progress and spot potential delays early, allowing for appropriate support to nurture effective communication skills throughout childhood.
