[quote=Anonymous]My 16 month old has an expressive speech delay. She doesn't really babble. We were referred to early intervention (Arlington county) and they evaluated her as having the expressive language of an 8 month old. We are beginning speech therapy though early intervention but I've read on DCUM that there are other things we should be pursuing, and I'm really confused by what's out there. Here are my questions: 1. Can someone clarify for me what the next steps are, if I'm interested and willing to do more? 2. Are private speech therapists typically better than those one sees through early intervention, or no? If so, any recommendations? 3. I keep seeing developmental pediatricians mentioned around here. Is that something I should pursue? Any recommendations? Thanks a million. I'm overwhelmed and really appreciate any guidance. [/quote]
