Abstract:
Babies are born nonverbal, yet they spontaneously and seemingly effortlessly acquire the complex skills necessary for oral communication. Interestingly, many of these skills have "golden periods" of maximally efficient learning--failure to acquire the skill at that time may lead to speech delay. This article discusses the normal pattern of speech development.
