5 Signs of a Speech Delay | Speech Therapist Explains

If you are a parent of a young one who is not talking, this video should help you identify the signs of a speech delay. The biggest factor is the child's vocabulary size compared to the average number of the child's age range.

Average number of words based on age:
12 mos = 2-6 other than mama and dada
15 mos = 10 words
18 mos = 50 words
24 mos = 200-300 words
30 mos = 450 words
36 mos (3 years) = 1,000 words
