A Couple of More Websites...

I've ran across a parenting site giving the timetable the warning signs you should start looking for if you believe your child is having speech delays. I myself still have yet to be fully understandable at 4 years, which bought about me seeing a speech therapist at the beginning of my school age.

The other was an interesting piece on figuring out the difference between a child that is having speech delays or a child that is just a late bloomer. There's not much in concrete symptoms separating the two, but it says that child that is more likely to be a late bloomer would use more gesters, understand speech at a pretty normal rate, and should have continuous, if a bit delayed, progress in language.
