[quote=Anonymous]You should defintiely get him assessed. Assessment and early internveiton is great for child development, even if the issue ends up being minor. By 18 months - the developmental norm is 20-50 words and by 24 months the developmental norm is 50-250 words and 2 word combos - milk please etc. Some kids are just slower in their development - it doesn't mean something is wrong but he is behind the developmental curve and it is worth an assessment. He will soon get to an age where a lack of verbal communication skills will start to cause frustration. Then you have more behavioural and emotional issues as that is how he can communicate. Early intervention can be great both for monitoring and supporting kids as they catch up to the curve as well as providing more intensive supports and recommendations if there is a developmental issue.[/quote]
