Developmental Stages

All children are unique and develop their speech, language, and communication skills at different paces. Read more about what to expect at different stages.

Tiny Talkers is a local initiative designed to help parents, carers and professionals support children’s speech, language and communication development. Our aim is to bring together clear, trusted information in one place, so it’s easier to understand what help is available and how to access it. Whether you’re looking for guidance, intervention or support for speech, language and communication development, you’re in the right place.
