[quote=Anonymous]DS would only grunt and say just a few words here and there when he was 20 months. SIL, a pediatrician did suggest speech therapy but we held out as he grew up in a bilingual environment at that point. Figured he was just maturing slowly, DH and I never started on the therapy route. Also DS never learned to crawl properly and went from sitting/scooting on his bum straight to walking. Now at 18, he is a well adjusted, thoughtful, athletic and accomplished young man w a dry sense of humor. He is never gonna be the loudest person in crowd. But he is socially and has great friends. He doesn’t have any trouble speaking in front of a crowd at school or at work (summer jobs). Not to say therapy isn’t helpful since we never tried it. But most kids do grow out of the occasional “slow” development in one area or another. Good luck.[/quote]
