Ming from Agents of Speech explains how speech delays are classified by approximate delay durations and functional impact: mild (~6–12 months), mild-to-moderate (~1 year+), moderate (~1.5–2 years), and severe (~2–3+ years), noting assessment considers functional communication and social abilities. The video outlines the three main assessment domains: speech sounds, receptive language (understanding), and expressive language (speaking).

If you're talking about a mild delay or disorder, it means not that far off. If we're talking about delay, a mild delay would be around that of a six month to a year delay. We would say it's mild. It's a mild to moderate is a little more than that, maybe a year plus. And then water would be like one and a half to two years and then severe would be like three years. But two to three years of delay. And it's not only just calculate with months or years, is calculated by how your child is able to function in the world. If we're talking about a severe case, it means that they're unable to communicate, they're unable to do a lot of social functions, and they're unable to understand a lot of language. And in speech therapy we look at a few things. The big camps are speech sounds. And then we have receptive language, and then we have expressive language. Receptive language means how much you can understand. Expressive means how much the child can actually talk. So that's a speech therapy camp.
