My child only says a few words — should I be worried?
Many children who are slow to talk catch up well, but a small vocabulary is one of the easiest things to support early — so know the rough milestones and have a gentle check if your child has few words by 18 months, isn't combining words by 2 years, doesn't point or gesture, or seems not to understand you. Early support is never wasted. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
