What you generally think of as "Late talkers/delayed." Less than 10th percentile. My professional recommendation is to consult with a speech and language specialist for further insight and support. Again, this is not to cause panic but to root for you, to empower you, to equip you, to give you tools! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/9d7f1b85-622d-44be-8eea-54e6a2c0c9d6/Screenshot+2023-09-14+at+8.51.45+AM.png Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! - “Placing & Pacing” This group of kiddos is "placing" themselves right at the milestone and "pacing" (slowly but surely) working themselves through them. What you generally think of as "the milestone." 10th percentile. If a kiddo is in the 10th percentile, 90% of their same-age peers have the same of more words. and 10% of kids their age have the same or less words. This is generally what pediatricians and associations like the CDC use and label as the "milestone." This should be the very minimum or "cut off point" and anything below it should be a referral to see a specialist. Not to cause panic but to a) see what may be going on, could be something as simple as fluid in the ears and b) give you tools! So if your child is here, my professional recommendation to ensure they catch up to their peers, is to absolutely implement language development strategies & *closely* monitor their progress. Now, some parents have the knowledge and resources to do that at home. Some don't. If the parent doesn't have the knowledge and resources, it may be beneficial to provide language development strategies and/or link up with an SLP. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/2c867e15-c27e-4864-b2e2-6a250c769fc3/Screenshot+2023-10-03+at+2.45.26+PM.png Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/d03889d2-338e-44c9-af50-2ced04323e62/Screenshot+2023-09-14+at+8.55.39+AM.jpg Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! - “Striving & Thriving” This group of kiddos is "striving" (aiming) toward each milestone and "thriving" (growing) while at it. What the general public thinks of as the "stereotypical" communicator for that age. They are in the 25th-35th percentile. My professional recommendation for this group is to continue providing natural/organic language input. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/6965d872-3a2d-45f6-bcb0-adb892410a9f/Screenshot+2023-09-14+at+8.54.14+AM.jpg Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! - “Cruising & Musing” This group of kiddos is "cruising" (slowly/methodically moving toward the goal) across each milestone and "musing" (contemplating/taking it all in) while at it. What you generally think of as the child who isn't super chatty but isn't significantly behind. 15th percentile. 85% of kids have the same or more words than the child and 15% of their same age peers have the same or less. My professional recommendation for this group is: implement language development strategies & monitor. Now some parents may benefit from working 1:1 with an SLP, others can implement the strategies at home on their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1696018389673-0YZ3O8H7FXRWLCEVTRM0/Screenshot+2023-09-29+at+3.59.01+PM.png Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1696018441587-DA87U0F4HTZ8Q2L1WG99/Screenshot%2B2023-09-29%2Bat%2B3.59.11%2BPM.jpg Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1696018559102-INZ677FA0H422F4BWJT4/Screenshot+2023-09-29+at+3.59.34+PM.png Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1696018559864-6KPA96CEQ1W49JD9VDNC/Screenshot+2023-09-29+at+3.59.55+PM.png Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1696018654184-9FJ3Y34RKZV5AO59HVB4/Screenshot+2023-09-29+at+4.00.02+PM.png Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1696018654888-OC0M8RQ9WMBKQRPKIG39/Screenshot+2023-09-29+at+4.00.08+PM.png Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1696041096755-S4E0U29PTMH83X9M6J8Q/Screenshot+2023-09-29+at+10.31.02+PM.png Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1696041096768-7TDJHZFIXV3MEF1IXNCL/Screenshot+2023-09-29+at+10.31.12+PM.png Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1696041238822-MYD2TT9K8GLVP51FTJG7/Screenshot+2023-09-29+at+10.33.33+PM.png Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1696041238860-EBUY9HJ7I5JXR6863TDS/Screenshot+2023-09-29+at+10.33.41+PM.png Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/c5829ba0-e1de-46ca-b215-83a870dfef4c/Screenshot+2023-09-29+at+10.36.16+PM.png Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1696018169152-Z8J4VIJR39HJ83GNG0QC/Screenshot%2B2023-09-29%2Bat%2B3.58.52%2BPM.jpg Blog - Bilingual Developmental Milestones (2nd edition)!

They are what you generally think of as the "chatty, verbose" kiddos. So they land on the 50th or more percentile. They sit in the middle or ahead of half the peers their same age. And if your child isn't in this category, these kids are the ones you will be tempted to compared them to. Clearly language is a strength of theirs. https://laleotherapy.com/laleoblog/the-silent-period-facts monthly 0.5 2023-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1677084108592-834C35F6I89D753P0TMI/Screen+Shot+2023-02-22+at+11.37.43+AM.png Blog - The Silent Period &amp; its truth! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1677084107947-YANUYYZJWIOE2BKKEHPO/Screen+Shot+2023-02-22+at+11.40.59+AM.png Blog - The Silent Period &amp; its truth! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1677084111667-E430IHZG0BQIYHZOMLRN/Screen+Shot+2023-02-22+at+11.41.05+AM.png Blog - The Silent Period &amp; its truth! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1677084113233-3M00T3SVGCDWB4R9BCYD/Screen+Shot+2023-02-22+at+11.38.02+AM.png Blog - The Silent Period &amp; its truth! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1677084117149-U0W5AJIJR4FKZQIGR90H/Screen+Shot+2023-02-22+at+11.38.08+AM.png Blog - The Silent Period &amp; its truth! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1677084121460-8KZ0XICDQE5K282KPAVJ/Screen+Shot+2023-02-22+at+11.38.31+AM.png Blog - The Silent Period &amp; its truth! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1677084276189-Q6FI3FD8GKZGT9001K56/Screen+Shot+2023-02-22+at+11.14.32+AM.png Blog - The Silent Period &amp; its truth! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1677084278226-8VQ6QCL00OTSJTKYRUG0/Screen+Shot+2023-02-22+at+11.00.03+AM.png Blog - The Silent Period &amp; its truth! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1677084280203-5IPP6VQU7JS4O68F53KZ/Screen+Shot+2023-02-22+at+11.23.45+AM.png Blog - The Silent Period &amp; its truth! https://laleotherapy.com/laleoblog/ghautzfuq9vn7m16il1s7chj5y8f16 monthly 0.5 2023-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/aaeb10c8-4a49-40c7-8a8c-35f5f1397957/D189EACD-B4E6-44A5-95E6-BACA412C904A.jpg Blog - Review: Board book about Bilingualism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/8b8ca13f-5626-43e2-a71e-694e0c393648/188843AF-5371-401A-9F5A-7351491DC78B.png Blog - Review: Board book about Bilingualism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://laleotherapy.com/laleoblog/faq-am-i-counting-a-bilingual-toddlers-words-correctly monthly 0.5 2022-04-08 https://laleotherapy.com/laleoblog/ask-laleolaleo-answers monthly 0.5 2023-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1609785107117-SSGTZ6DSOUL0QO5URMIK/question%2B1.jpg Blog - Ask Laleo...Laleo Answers! https://laleotherapy.com/laleoblog/raising-bilingual-children-where-to-even-start monthly 0.5 2023-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5d9d6fc16a590001b5f29d/1600055296973-YM6909RZKWK32SUPAOYN/BPP.png Blog - Raising Bilingual Children - Where to Even Start?
