Please just think of her as a kid.

Plus a million. This is a toddler. Get her whatever toy is appropriate for her age group. The fact that you put her delay before her interests and personality is well-meaning but hard to take for special needs families.

I have a speech-delayed child and we have been told by the therapists not to strictly not give her any toy that makes sounds, flashing lights and absolutely no screens if any kind. If we received a gift like this it would go straight into the donation pile. Of course people can gift what they like but if it’s not appropriate it won’t be used.

That's bizarre. The point is to get stuff that engages the child. I have a child with a language disorder and many years of therapy and never hear that. And, if anything screens helped in many ways. Let me guess, you have a 2 year old.

Good for you. I’m going with what works for my child.

Every speech therapist I’ve ever met recommended against the talking toys. They tend to result in parents talking less to the child and do more harm than good.

You are very misinformed.

Not lame. Mine loved books and could read before they were actually talking. They figured out how to decode themselves and one day surprised us by reading. You can never have enough books.

Another big hit is the little tikes basketball hoop and ball, although you will need sand or something to weigh down the base.

Both these items are a hit with my dd who had language delays! In fact, the blocks were passed down from my 20something DC-still look great.

Don't buy the book. Parents can buy it if they are interested.

It’s really condescending to think your 10 minutes of internet research is going to fix the speech delay that they’re getting therapy for. This is the equivalent of buying someone a diet book.

Don’t be a dick.

I was also struggling to find a good toy that would help my baby with memory exercises. It’s not the same as speech delay, but maybe you will find my information relevant for you case as well. So, I never knew what kind of toys to buy, so using reviews and blogs of other moms really helped me. On this website https://vaiibhavglobal.com/baby-toys-6-to-12-months/ you can find a lot of relevant information on toys for 6 to 12 months old babies. I actually bought one product they recommended and so far, it has been amazing for helping with memory exercises. You should definitely check out this online platform.

WHat memory exercises does a 6-12 mo old need and what did you end up buying? Honest questions.

+1000. Books are a wonderful gift idea for any child. Children learn language from hearing language. A big no on electronic toys. This is for a toddler, not a high schooler. And yes, I know what I’m talking about.

My child has a language disorder not delay and talking toys and electronics really helped. I wish I didn’t listen to the no screen time and people like you with really rigid thinking.

A baby doll stroller and baby doll.

Magnatiles.

A microkick scooter.

No David books.

These are all big hits with toddlers that age. And btw, a kid with a speech delay doesn’t need different toys!
