ellievanhoutte Teachers and other professionals often use developmental charts to compare a child's development to the average development of other children the same age. This table provides a very general list of language developmental milestones that normally occur between birth and five years. The ages represent averages of developmental information found in a wide variety of literature and other resources. It is presented with the caution that children who develop normally vary greatly in their maturation patterns and timetables (Greene, 1975). No single skill should form the basis of any important decisions concerning assessment or treatment. Rather, all areas of development must be considered (Wood, 1981).
