12 months

Does the child:

  • Follow simple one-step directions – “sit down”?
  • Look across the room to something you point to?
  • Use three or more words?
  • Use gestures to communicate – waves “bye-bye”, shakes head “no”?
  • Get your attention using sounds, gestures and pointing while looking at your eyes?
  • Bring you toys to show you?
  • “Perform” for attention and praise?
  • Combine lots of sounds as though talking – abada baduh abee?
  • Show interest in simple picture books?
