Communication and Language
You can check the progress of your child's communication development using the Progress Checker below.
The progress checker will provide short questions you can answer to see how your baby or child is getting on with their speech, language and communication development.
It is based on what we know about how language develops in babies and children. It’s not the same as a standardised measure | |
a specialist would carry out but it should give you an idea of how your baby or child is developing and whether you need some support or advice to help you and them.
Choose the right age and answer the questions. At the end, it will let you know how your child is doing and what help is available if you need it. Click here to access the progress checker. |
Children develop their speech, language and communication skills at different rates. However, knowing what is typical can help you identify speech and language | |
problems early. You can also find out how to help your child learn to talk and understand words. Speech and Language UK offers a guide to the typical stages of speech and language development in babies, children and young people. Click here to access the guide. |
