[quote=Anonymous]I have a 23 months old, and have speech & cognitive delay. He sees developmental pediatrician, and is on free early intervention services mainly for his speech. The developmental pediatrician have not found the causes of delay yet, but he is under watch for followups. 2 months has pasted, I think he understands a bit more what I say, but still no progress on speech(no new word), just babble a bit more. We are bilingual, but they all say it is not the reason for speech delay. Therapists are still working on his imitation sound skills, but no progress here at all. He is good at imitate actions though. Any tips?

OP, my boy's gross motor & fine motor skill is really good. A piece of advice here! You should get some toys to motivate him to work on his legs (bottom core) & finger skills, e.g. activity cubes is a good one to work on him standing longer holding onto something while working on his fingers skills.

A question here. My boy fully understands when I ask him if he wants me to clean his body parts e.g. hand/nose/feet/ear/face/mouth, he will respond to me "mm" as yes, and waving hands as "no". But how come he does not understand when I ask him to point at those body parts? I am confused on this one. [/quote]
