A late talker is a toddler experiencing late language emergence (LLE),[2][3] which can also be an early or secondary sign of an autism spectrum disorder, or other developmental disorders, such as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, intellectual disability, learning disability, social communication disorder, or specific language impairment.[1][4][5][6] Lack of language development, comprehension skills, and challenges with literacy skills are potential risks as late talkers age.[3] Outlook for late talkers with or without intervention is generally favorable.[7] Toddlers have a high probability of catching up to typical toddlers if early language interventions are put in place.[8][2] Language interventions include general language stimulation, focused language stimulation and milieu teaching.[9][10][11][12][13][14]

Speech pathologists are specialists who work with late talkers and provide individualised support for each child's unique needs.[9]
