Red Flag #6

Red Flag #6:  If your 3 year old is not understood almost all of the time by unfamiliar listeners, it’s time to go to a speech-language pathologist for a speech evaluation.

By the time your toddler turns three years of age, they should be at least 80% intelligible to the unfamiliar listener.  Again, this doesn’t mean that all the sounds in their words are perfectly pronounced; however,  it does mean that a person who does not know your child is able to understand the majority of what they are trying to say.
