• Babies begin to coo at 1 to 3 months. Instead of simply being startled by sounds, babies start to respond more specifically to sounds — first by turning their heads and changing their facial expressions and then by actually cooing . These sounds will probably be music to your ears, as well they should be. You can consider these sounds to be your child's first words to you, as simple cooing and other verbalizations represent the very beginning of language development

• Babies at this age enjoy making sounds. Not only do they like to laugh and squeal with pleasure and excitement, but they have perfect ability to coo, and blow raspberries. Some begin to make consonant sounds (n, d, p, b), most can link sounds with the objects that made them, and by the time they reach 6 months of age, they often start to actually imitate sounds.

• Babies will babble at this age. During these months, most babies start to vocalize a lot more in ways other than crying, not the least of which is laughing more frequently. You're also likely to notice a progression in your baby's talking abilities — from making four different consonant sounds or stringing together chains of vowel-consonant sounds to combining syllables into word-like utterances and shouting to attract attention.

• Babies will say their first words during this time. At 9 months, infants are often fairly talented at multi-syllable babbling and imitating sounds. Over the subsequent months, you may find that your baby starts to imitate the tone and inflection in your voice as well and may even say his first word.

• Words such as "mama" and "dada" clearly have meaning to infants at this age, and some will even say them by the time they turn 1. ("Dada" is much more common than "mama," not as a reflection of a baby's preference, but because "da" is a much easier sound to make than "ma.")

• Also at this age babies develop improved nonverbal communication skills. This is a fun age, where many babies not only start to communicate verbally, but clearly seem to understand more and interact more. They typically learn to point in response to simple questions such as "Where's the ball?" or "Where's Mommy?" and to wave good-bye.

Three common speech disorders are:•Articulation disorders•Disfluency• Disfluencies are disorders in which a person repeats

a sound, word, or phrase.•Voice disorders• Voice disorders are caused by problems when air passes from the lungs, through the vocal cords, and then through the throat, nose, mouth, and lips.
