[quote=Anonymous]I freaked out when my 2 year old was like this and my (much older) pediatrician wasn’t bothered at all. He obliged me in sending a rec for speech evaluation services and my kid qualified because all 2 year olds who aren’t saying words qualify. In the end, it was a waste of time and my pediatrician was right - my kid started speaking in complete full sentences between 2 1/2 and 3 despite not saying a word before; therapy didn’t seem to help speed that up much at all. They were just on their own time. I think speech therapy can be valuable in some cases but if no one is worried about autism or any other developmental markers it’s not something I’d necessarily do again. If it’s free it can’t hurt but know that (depending on your county) it can take a LONG time for the early childhood intervention process to work, qualify, and get on the schedule. [/quote]
