[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All four of my children didn't really start talking until around 2. Hardly any words before that. Our pediatrician wasn't concerned because they were pointing, making lots of sounds and could follow directions (indicating they had high receptive language). Every pediatrician is different though. It doesn't hurt to get a referral for speech if that is the recommendation. The county is fine at this age. You can start the process and then bow out if your child starts talking. [/quote] +1 We were at the borderline for number of words at 15 and 18 months appointments but our ped wasn’t concerned and neither was my mother (apparently my sister and I were also late talkers?) so I didn’t ask for a referral to EI. Language explosion around 22 months, and my child is exceeding verbal milestones at two years. Nothing wrong with making an appointment with EI if it will make you feel better but in some cases the kids catch up without help.[/quote]
