This page contains resources and support if you are concerned about your child’s communication.
Communication is a complex skill that develops gradually over time from the moment a child is born. It is important that children develop a firm foundation of earlier skills such as listening and playing so that they can successfully develop later skills such as using tricky sounds and spelling.
If you're worried about your child's communication skills, there are various resources and support systems to assist you. Seeking help early can lead to positive outcomes in your child's communication development.
