Look what I can do
Speech and language develops gradually as children grow. Click on one of the age groups in the menu on the left to find out what children can achieve at that developmental stage.
No matter how old I am – one of the best ways to help my speech and language development is to have some quiet time with me so we can talk, sing songs or look at books. It is always best to make sure that the TV is switched off and there is hardly any noise in the background.
