CCC-SLP, a mom and pediatric speech language pathologist, about speech delay in young children.  Kristina gives an overview of typical communication development and talks through important milestones parents should watch for in order to make sure that theri child’s communication is developing as it should.  As she points out in this episode, 50% of late talkers do not catch up on their own, so just waiting to see if they catch up is not always sufficient.

Kristina talks through ways that parents can help their child develop their speech and language skills and gives recommendations for how to pursue more specialized help if needed.
