  even start talking. Although babies are not ready
  to say words on the road of language development,
  the most important step is building their
  understanding.

  major years of emotional and social development.
  Babies at this age generally have the problem in

  they mispronounce many words for example
  substitution of f or d sound for the.
• Parents of toddlers who are at a risk or have
  speech, communication, language, swallowing and
  feeding disorder should receive supportive care
  speech therapy. Parents should include early
  intervention team of caregivers, families and
  other professionals such as speech therapist for
  their kids.
