Generally, children begin to say their first words around their first birthday. By age two, most children are combining two or more words into phrases. A delay occurs when language (vocabulary, length of sentence, grammar, etc.) develops more slowly than is normal, or fails to develop at all.
In some cases, a child may begin to develop language and then regress. Language delays should be addressed as early as possible to promote faster progress and an overall better prognosis.
Language delays that persist into school age often develop into difficulties with academics such as reading, writing, and grammar.
