When to Get Started

Caregivers often wonder: “Is this typical?” or “Should I wait and see?” If you’ve ever had those questions, you’re not alone. Here are some common signs it may be a good time to connect with Chatterbugs:

First Words: By 12–18 months, your child isn’t babbling, using gestures, or saying first words.

Vocabulary Growth: By age 2, your child isn’t combining words (like “more juice”) or has fewer than 50 words.

Clarity: Family members or caregivers have trouble understanding your child’s speech beyond age 3.

Understanding: Your child has difficulty following directions, answering questions, or understanding new words.

Social Interaction: Your child has difficulty with social problem solving, turn-taking, or engaging in play with peers.

Frustration: Your child often becomes upset because others can’t understand what they’re trying to say.

Gut Feeling: You feel something just isn’t right. Trust your instinct: you know your child best!
