🙋‍♀️ how many words should my toddler be using?

15 months = 10 words
18 months = 20-50 words
24 months = 150-300 words

If your toddler only has a few words, I’m guessing you often hear “oh just wait and see." Or “he’ll grow out of it, just give him some time.” There is truth in these comments - about 50% of late talkers start talking without intervention. But the other half don’t and there isn’t a clear way to determine what the outcome will be for your child. If your gut tells you something is off or you aren’t confident that your toddler is on track, I can help!

Speech therapy for late talkers is all about play and connection. I work directly with toddlers to build a foundation for talking and teach parents how to turn daily routines into language learning opportunities. I can ease your worry and help you feel empowered and knowledgable. Learning to talk can be natural, easy and fun. I’d love to teach you my method.
