Understanding Development: A Comparative Guide to ASHA and CDC Milestones

Understanding Development: A Comparative Guide to ASHA and CDC Milestones is a clear, comprehensive reference designed to help parents, teachers, and professionals better understand speech and language growth.

This printable guide aligns ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association) and CDC developmental milestones side by side — making it easier to see what’s expected at each stage of communication development.

Created by speech-language pathologists, this comparison tool supports accurate assessment, collaborative planning, and early intervention across settings. It’s a must-have for anyone wanting to understand when to seek support, how to track progress, and what “typical” looks like through both ASHA and CDC lenses.
