Let’s talk about milestones, because they’re a big deal when you have a mini human! Doctors and specialists toss the word around all the time, but most parents (and even a few medical professionals) misunderstand what it means. Fair enough – it’s a misleading term so I want to clear up the confusion so you can know exactly what your doctors and therapists are talking about, and whether or not you should be concerned if your child is missing their milestones.

You spend so much time talking to your little one, it only makes sense you would also be able to provide more speech therapy than a therapist too! Even if you are only doing 10 minutes a day, it’s already more than they would get from a typical weekly appointment with their speech-language pathologist (SLP).
