How much of my child’s speech should I be able to understand?

Speech intelligibility refers to how much of a child’s speech a listener understands. Parents can typically understand their child’s speech better than unfamiliar listeners can. By 2 years old, parents should be able to understand their child’s speech 50-75% of the time, and 75-100% of the time by 3 years of age. Reduced speech intelligibility can often lead to frustration for both parents and children. If you have concerns about your child’s speech, don't wait! Contact us to schedule an evaluation with a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist.
