Ages and stages
This section of the site looks at the typical development that most children experience. Of course all children are different, so these are meant as a guide. It is organised into age groups to help you find the information that is most appropriate for each child.
Within each age group you will find:
- Information about how children typically develop communication skills.
- Tips for supporting langauge at this age.
- Things to look out for - difficulties that some children have at these ages.
If you are concerned about a child, you should speak to the SENCO in your setting and of course the parents. Seek the advice of a speech and langauge therapist. You can find details of your local SLT here.
