A member asked:
If a baby starts cooing/babbling around a year & then makes consonant sounds around 18 months, when should they say an actual word?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs evaluation: I would suggest speech evaluation and hearing testing. If hearing is normal we could work on speech improvement.With speech stimulation and speech therapy there can be a more rapid improvement in speech. So when a child does not follow a regular normal pattern, a lot depends on the diagnostic and corrective measures applied, These measures determine how much and how fast improvement is seen
