A. the child will be able to say meaningful words by 15 months to 18 months of age and by 2 years of age the child will be able to say 2 or 3 words with meaning in a sentence. sometimes the child may not be able to talk but the child would be able to understand axnd follow the commands and orders given by the parents. if you feel that the child is having some delay it is advisable to meet the pediatrician who will decide if the child requirxes any therapy or not in the form of speech therapy as well as other modes of therapy for development in social and language milestone.
