By the age of two, most children try to say simple words, combine two words, point to express needs, and respond when spoken to. When these milestones are missing or limited, it may indicate a speech delay that needs attention.
What Is Expected at This Age
Speech delay can happen for many reasons, including hearing concerns, limited interaction, excessive screen time, or developmental differences. In some cases, it may be associated with autism, especially when social communication is also affected.
Why Speech Delay Happens
The early years are crucial for brain development. Identifying challenges early and starting therapy can significantly improve speech, communication, and social skills, helping children express themselves with confidence.
Why Early Support Matters
Early Autism Ventures offers early screening, speech and language therapy, and parent guidance tailored to each child. If you have concerns about your child’s speech, seeking help early can make a lifelong difference.
