From first babbles to full-on conversations, speech and language development is a journey that lasts well beyond the toddler years. In this episode of EdMed Talks, we explore how communication skills grow from infancy through adolescence—what’s typical at each stage, what might signal a concern, and how parents and educators can support kids along the way. We’ll talk about language, social communication, and the real-world skills kids need to connect, advocate for themselves, and interact confidently with adults.
