Speech Development by Age 7-10 months: Does your child…
- Babble in repetitive sequences (/ba ba ba/, /ma ma ma/)
- Babble in varying sequences (/da ga ada im ee/)
- Children who do not engage in these types of babbling have been shown to be at risk for future Speech and Language difficulties.
By Age 6-12 months, does your child…
- Imitate your gestures?
- Respond to “come here”?
- Shout or vocalize to get attention?
- Protest by making sounds or gestures?
- Wave ‘hi’ and ‘bye’
- Is your child beginning to identify body parts and play routine games (‘peekaboo’)?
