[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PPs in suggesting an evaluation by a private SLP (speech language pathologist = speech therapist). At 22 months, my youngest had very few words that anyne outside the family could understand. After an evaluation by an SLP from our county's EI, we had his ears checked and he had unresolved fluid even though he had no history of ear infections. He got tubes and started therapy. The therapist suggested we also teach him sign language. He acquired signs far more quickly than words but once he got the word, he dropped the sign. You can look at your library for a signing video (that's where we got ours). Start off with simple signs like "more", "please", "thank you", "milk", etc. (I'd also think about getting a new pediatrician). [/quote]
