Speech Pathology
Adelaide Paediatrics Speech Pathologists are all highly qualified and deal with a broad range of speech, language, communication and feeding issues.
Your child should be saying their first word around their first birthday, about 10 words by 18 months of age and about 50 words by 2 years of age (including two-word combinations). If this is not happening then an assessment with a speech pathologist may be warranted.
