Knowing the basic sequence of typical/neurotypical development can help guide us in determining whether a toddler is significantly behind.  

The awareness of the sound structure of words. This awareness helps children learn letter-sound correspondences, decode words, and develop sight vocabulary.

A screening isn’t a “test”.  It’s a process that helps us to determine if there are enough red flags to warrant an evaluation.

There is a strong relationship between the use of words as labels and the ability to demonstrate functional play or to use objects in play for their conventional purposes, early on and this then changes when children begin combining words. 

Match the frequency of intentional communicative acts to the age in months.

How many words should a toddler produce at 12 months?

Match the level of phonological awareness to its stage/number (less complex (stage 1) to more complex (stage 5): 

This level of semantical mapping is where the child’s brain is refining representations of words simultaneously with repeated presentation of words, words given in multiple contexts and with multiple exemplars.  

This type of awareness is ability to hear, identify and manipulate the individual sounds that form words.

Give an example of a subordinated conjunction.
