[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Step 1: Don't freak out. Step 2: Call early intervention and make an evaluation appointment. Step 3: Discuss with pediatrician at 2 YO visit. Step 4: Consider ENT/hearing test. Step 5: Don't freak out.[/quote] This exactly.[/quote] Yep. Just note that for every, say 10, posters whose children had no words at age 2 and later had a language explosion (with or without therapy) there's another poster (like me) who's child had no explosion and speech (not communication, speech) remains a significant challenge. I'm very grateful we didn't follow the advice of some (whose kids had the speech explosion) to give it more time. Good luck![/quote] +1, If it is a true delay as PP said, there is good reason to be concerned. Everyone kept telling me my child would be ok. At 4, he is still severely delayed (but at least starting to talk).[/quote]
