This is a guide to the typical stages of speech and language development in babies, children and young people.
Children develop language at different rates. However, understanding what is typical can help you identify speech and language problems early.

The Communication Trust Universally Speaking is a series of booklets for anyone who works with children and young people. The booklets show where children should be with their communication skills at any given age.
