What is speech delay in children?
Speech delay is when a child speaks fewer sounds or words than expected for their age, or is hard to understand. Some children are simply late talkers. Others may need support with understanding language, using words, forming sounds clearly or hearing. An early assessment shows what your child needs and whether therapy can help.
Not every child talks at the same age. An assessment, including a hearing check where needed, helps you understand if extra support is right for your child.
Signs your child may need support
- Not babbling or making sounds by about 12 months
- Very few words by 18 months
- Not joining two words by about 2 years
- Does not respond to name or simple instructions
- Speech that family cannot understand by 3 years
- Points or pulls instead of using words

Quick answers to what parents ask us most about speech delay.
At what age should I worry about speech delay?
If your child has no words by around 18 months, is not joining two words by about 2 years, or you notice other concerns, a professional assessment can clarify next steps.
Is it normal for a 2-year-old to speak very little?
Some children are late talkers, but it is worth checking. An assessment shows how your child understands and uses language.
What causes speech delay?
Causes vary. It can be natural variation, hearing difficulty, or related to language, oral-motor or overall development. An assessment helps find the reason.
Can therapy help a late-talking child?
Play-based speech and language activities can support listening, sounds, words and sentences. The therapist decides what suits your child after assessment.
What can parents do at home?
Talk about daily activities, read picture books, sing, give your child time to respond, and follow the activities your therapist suggests. Limiting screen time also helps.
