The skills listed below mark children's progress as they learn to communicate and gain speech and language abilities. If your child is not meeting one or more of these milestones or if you have concerns about your child's communication development, please contact us or come to a drop-in to meet with a Speech-Language Pathologist.
By 6 months of age, most babies will:
- orient to sounds
- startle in response to loud noises
- make different cries for different needs (i.e. hungry, tired)
- watch your face as you talk
- smile/laugh in response to your smiles and laughs
- imitate coughs or other sounds (e.g. "ah", "eh", buh")
