Welcome to Talking Point

Talking Point is the first stop online for information on speech, language and communication in children. Learning to speak is one of the most important skills a child can learn, and yet we so often take for granted that a child will naturally learn to speak, understand what we say and communicate. Here you will find all the stages of language development that a child will go through, lots of great tips, and, if you are concerned about a child's development, what to do. In Talking Links you can find lots of organisations that can help, including the local services which can support your child's speech, language and communication development.
