You haven’t reached the stoplight yet on Late Talker Lane. Your baby is between 6-9 months old and still has time to acquire first words. It is great that your baby seems to be recognizing familiar words and starting to vocalize through babbling! Now let’s keep the momentum going!

You want to make sure that your baby’s language skills continue to progress in an upward trajectory. You can do this by implementing our evidence-based “I TALK” technique into your everyday routines to help your baby meet communication milestones. If you want to be proactive and learn these techniques in depth you can take our course called Talk On Track! In Talk On Track we teach you the “I TALK” technique and how to help your child progress up “The Noisy Steps”, from cooing to babbling and straight into those first words! This course can be used as a proactive measure to help your baby literally, “talk on track”!

Also, be sure to follow us on Instagram @speechsisters for daily tips and tools to help enrich your child’s language development. We recommend that you take this quiz again when your child is between 13-15 months old. If you have ANY concerns at all regarding your child’s speech and language development, it is important to reach out to your pediatrician and/or an certified speech-language pathologist* to make a plan of action.
