[quote=Anonymous]I would wait til 18M appointment and go from there - in MD and DC you can self refer to an EI eval, not sure the rules in VA. My son had maybe 1 word at his 18M appt and our ped told me to self refer. He was evaluated at 19M and qualified easily for speech therapy. We started very quickly (got lucky with timing and availability of someone in our county) and his language exploded by our second session on its own, when he was 20M. He was talking in full sentences before our 2year well visit. If her receptive language is good, that’s where the biggest concern is at this age. Likely she will be fine, but it doesn’t hurt to see where she’s at at the 18M check up and go from there after a conversation with your doctor.[/quote]
