Frequently asked questions
Most children say around 50 words by age 2 and begin combining words into simple phrases. If your child is significantly behind these milestones or appears to be losing words they previously had, a speech pathology assessment is recommended.
Not necessarily. Many children with speech delays do not have autism, and autism can present without significant speech delay. A comprehensive assessment by a speech pathologist and, if indicated, a developmental paediatrician can help clarify the picture.
Some children do catch up naturally, particularly those with 'late talker' profiles. However, early intervention leads to better outcomes, so it's always worth seeking an assessment rather than waiting and watching.
No. You can book a speech pathologist without a referral. To get a Medicare rebate, see your GP first: your GP can write a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan and a referral.
This depends on the type of delay and how strong it is. After the first assessment, your speech pathologist suggests a plan and checks progress with you.
