  • "When will my toddler start talking clearly?" - One of the most common questions of toddler parents. In this video you'll learn about toddler speech intelligibility, which is a speech therapy term to talk about how clearly kids are speaking. toddlertalk.com/blog/speech-i...
    The most obvious sign that your child might be having a hard time developing their speech skills is that you have a hard time understanding them. It’s important to know that we wouldn’t expect toddlers to be understood all the time because they are still developing their speech. And intelligibility has nothing to do with how intelligent a child it, it just is a measure of how well other people can understand what they are saying.
    We would expect parents to be able to understand more of what their kids say than other people. That’s because their brains have learned to interpret the way their child says certain things even when their pronunciation is off.
    Intelligibility is affected by a child’s articulation, phonology, and motor speech skills. This Summer of Speech Course is aimed about teaching you how to investigate each area of speech in your child so you can offer them support where needed.

      Hi. I am a first-time parent too, so I can totally relate to worrying about your little one and their development. My best tip is to talk to your child's doctor who has recommendations and resources for your community. It's best to find someone who can assess your child's communication and make personalized recommendations.
      At home, there are also many things you can do to support them. I'm going to shrae a great tool here that you can use to find activities using the time and resources you have - toddlertalk.com/toddler-talk-language-program
