Developmental Red Flags for Preschoolers 

Speech delay:  If a parent says “Oh, here’s a ball,” the child should be able to say “ball”, even though they might not say a full sentence. And it should sound somewhat similar to what the parent says.  But if what the child says is unrecognizable, then that’s a problem. 

Language delay:  Very low vocabulary skills. The child has very few descriptors. So, even if the child knows the word “ball”, the child will not be able to say “big red ball” because they don’t have those descriptors.  When the child should be speaking in 6-, 7- and 8-word sentences, these children will be speaking in 2 or 3-word utterances.  

Inability to hold multiple tasks in memory:  Is the child unable to remember and carry out a command containing multiple tasks? 

Pattern non-recognition: “Circle, square, circle, square, circle… If the child cannot say what comes next that’s a red flag.   

Insufficient word exposure:  In their developmental years, children need to hear about 21,000 words each day being spoken and used in sentences by family, teachers, and other sources such as computer-assisted teaching aids in the home and in the classroom.
