香港理工大學 言語治療所--牙牙學語 Language Development [in Cantonese]

This short video, titled "Babbling to First Words," addresses common parental concerns about early language milestones in children. It outlines typical development, where infants begin babbling around six months and progress to meaningful single words by their first birthday. The resource directly tackles the question of what it means if a child is not meeting these milestones, featuring expert insights from Clinical Instructor in Speech Therapy, Miss Yeung Ho Yee. She provides a professional perspective on whether delayed babbling or a lack of first words indicates a broader language delay and explains what constitutes a true "first word."

[牙牙學語] 普遍來說，幼童6個月時，就會開始有牙牙學語的聲音，到了一歲，就會開始說有意思的單字或詞語。有家長會問：「如果我孩子到了一歲只會發出『咿咿呀呀』的聲音，甚至於還沒開口發聲，到底是什麼問題呢？是否代表他們完全還沒發展語言？其他幼童說的單字又是什麼呢？」我聽一聽言語治療臨床導師，楊浩怡姑娘的解說。
