According to the Hanen Centre Website, a late talker is defined as a child that is 18-30 months of age who seems to understand language well but does not talk or say words as much as is expected for a child that age. Late talkers are typically developing well in other areas such as play skills, motor skills, thinking skills, etc.

There are many reasons that a child may not be speaking.  When a child is not able to speak, we can help find alternative means for that child to communicate or we can teach them words one by one so that they have some means of functional communication.

Children with a phonological delay or disorder have trouble saying entire classes of sounds.  For example, they may replace all back sounds (like /k/ and /g/) with front sounds (like /t/ and /d/).  Or they may replace all long sounds (like /s/, /z/, and /f/) with short sounds (like /t/, /d/, and /p/).  We can help these children learn to speak correctly by replacing these sound substitution rules with the correct sounds.

While speech-language pathologists don’t specifically treat sensory processing disorder, it can often affect a child’s ability to learn and use communication skills.  To see all of our resources for children with sensory and behavior concerns, click here!

Children with social communication impairment have difficulty with the social skills required to interact with others.  There are many different types of social communication problems that might be present.  To see all of our resources on helping children with social communication, click here!

Children with articulation delays or disorders have difficulty saying specific speech sounds.  They may lisp on their /s/ and /z/ sounds.  Or they may use a /w/ instead of an /r/.  Children can struggle with any or all of the speech sounds.  To see all of our resources for helping children learn to say speech sounds correctly, click here!

Children who stutter have trouble with speaking smoothly and fluently.  They may repeat sounds, syllables, or whole words multiple times before moving on to the rest of what they want to say.  Or, they may seem to get stuck on a certain sound or appear to be struggling to get sounds or words out.  To see all of our resources for children with fluency disorder, click here!

Selective mutism is a diagnosis that describes a child who does not speak in certain situations where speech is expected (such as at school or in public) but is able to speak normally in at least one other setting (such as at home).   To see all of our resources on selective mutism, click here

Voice and resonance disorders involve the quality of the child’s voice and speech.  Harsh, raspy, breathy, nasal, or hoarse voice quality can be the sign of a problem.

Carrie Clark, Speech-Language Pathologist

About the Author: Carrie Clark, MA CCC-SLP

Hi, I’m Carrie! I’m a speech-language pathologist from Columbia, Missouri, USA. I’ve worked with children and teenagers of all ages in schools, preschools, and even my own private practice. I love digging through the research on speech and language topics and breaking it down into step-by-step plans for my followers.

Fun Fact: I love to declutter and organize but I’m TERRIBLE at keeping things organized!  My brain loves taking on a challenge and coming up with amazing solutions to that problem (hence all of the great resources on this website!) so cleaning a room and helping it make sense is my jam!  But the daily maintenance needed to keep a place tidy isn’t novel or challenging enough so I tend to procrastinate on those tasks that would help keep me there.  Plus, I have two little creatures of chaos at home (my sons) who help make sure things DON’T stay tidy!
