ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) announces today the free, online availability of new checklists that detail communication (speech, language, and hearing) milestones for children ages birth to 5 years as well as feeding and swallowing milestones for children ages birth to 3 years. These milestones provide parents and caregivers with a roadmap of what to expect during their child's early years of life—and can alert them to the early signs of a potential developmental delay or disorder.

Key Points: 
  • Ideally, intervention will occur when the brain is most flexible—which is between birth and 3 years.
  • To inform the new communication checklists, the Association considered the latest peer-reviewed studies for children ages birth to 5 years who are learning English in the United States.
  • Informing the public about milestones and the signs of possible disorders is a critical way to identify and treat more children with developmental disorders at earlier ages.
  • Examples of ASHA's communication milestones for children ages birth to 5 years include the following:
    Vocalizes different vowel sounds—sometimes combined with a consonant—like uuuuuummm, aaaaaaagoo, or daaaaaaaaaa (4 to 6 months).
