It details developmental achievements such as following two-part instructions, responding to basic wh-questions, identifying body parts, and using single words or two-word phrases to express needs. Additionally, it highlights early grammatical developments including the use of possessives, negation, and diverse phonetic sounds. The guide serves as a practical developmental reference provided by Speech Pathology Australia, assisting parents and caregivers in monitoring a child's linguistic progression during their second year. By tracking these specific milestones, adults can better support the foundational communication skills necessary for early childhood development, ensuring toddlers are hitting age-appropriate targets in both receptive and expressive language
