A member asked:

My daughter is 2 years and doesn't speak full sentences but will respond to speech is it normal , worried dad?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

At 2 I expect a kid to understand & use up to 25 woords and link 2 words together in a phrase. They don't use formal sentences until later. If you are worried about her speech or language development have her evaluated by a speech & language professional. They are often found working with schools or rehabilitation centers.

If you are at all concerned about autism, you can always do a quick screen via the tool here - https://www.autismspeaks.org/screen-your-child - completely agree with previous answer that full sentences are not expected by age 2.

A hearing evaluation and speech therapy are recommended after seeing your pediatrician. Hearing loss may be associated with speech delay. If there are delayed motor skills, please discuss a development consult.
