Did you know…?
- An estimated 4% of the preschool population has a significant speech or language disorder.
- A child should use 200 or more words by the time they are 2-3 years old.
- By the age of 4½ a child's vocabulary should consist of about 2,000 words.
- Learning more than one language as a child (“bilingual development”) doesn’t lead to speech or language problems.
- It’s normal for children to mix up grammar rules or use words from different languages in the same sentence.
