[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has no real words at 18 months. Maybe there is an occasional “that” but really only “that”. She also barely babbles, but does point to what she wants but is also getting very frustrated these days because she can’t communicate with words.  Otherwise she is social, smiley, climbing all over the place etc. I have an appt for a speech evaluation but I’m feeling anxious about yet future.   Any others whose kids were slow to talk but they eventually got it?  Obviously I’m aware this is a read flag for ASD, apraxia etc. [/quote

My dd didn't start talking until after age 3. She graduated from speech therapy at age 5, fully verbal. We had been in early intervention since 12 months, when the ped referred us because she wasn't babbling (in dd's case, she was dx with asd at age 4.5, but like I said she is fully verbal now-I am NOT saying your dc has asd, most kids with language delays do NOT).

It's good that you are getting the evaluation. It's good too if they check her hearing (professionally, not banging a pot wtf). Early intervention can do so much! You are doing the right thing.[/quote]
