Is this your child?
Your child isn’t talking yet.
Some children catch up on their own; others need help getting language moving. A short conversation can tell you what is worth checking next.
Consultation and assessment fees are explained before booking.
What matters now
Notice how your child communicates, not only how many words they say.
A web page cannot tell whether your child is a late talker or needs support. These four answers are the practical starting point.
- What you may notice
- Fewer words than expected, few gestures, little copying of sounds, or only the family understanding your child.
- What a clinician would look at
- Gestures, play, understanding, sounds, words, and hearing — how your child communicates, not only how many words.
- The smallest next step
- Tell us what your child says, understands, and how they ask for help. That free conversation is enough to decide the next step.
- Where it runs
- Speech and language therapy runs at both centres. Detailed assessment is quoted before you book.
Patterns worth mentioning
These examples help you describe what you see. They do not diagnose your child.
- Around eighteen monthsNo single words yet, little effort to copy sounds, or no pointing to share what they want.
- Around two yearsOnly a few single words, with no short combinations such as “more milk.”
- Around three yearsMostly fragments that people outside the family find difficult to understand.

What an assessment looks at
A speech-language pathologist looks at how your child understands and communicates, then explains whether to watch, consult, or evaluate.
If therapy is useful
Play-led work has a communication goal, and parents learn small ways to practise in daily routines.
Common questions
Do two languages at home cause speech delay?
No. Two languages do not cause speech delay, and you do not need to drop a family language. Tell the clinician which languages your child hears and uses so both can be considered.
Should I wait and see, or ask now?
You can wait and watch, but there is no penalty for asking. A free conversation tells you whether watching is reasonable or whether a check would answer more.
