[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure if it is useful to distinguish between speech delays and "special needs". If it's autism you are worries about, I don't think that researchers really know the correlation anyway. If you have a toddler with truly no receptive language you need to get that checked out in and of itself. But how old a toddler are we talking about? Huge difference between 11 months and 2 years. At 11 months I would not worry that much if he didn't appear to have receptive language. But getting closer to 18 months I would worry. Does he play any interactive games like peekaboo? [/quote]

OP here.  I'm just catching up, and thanks for all of the great input so far!  He is almost 20 months.  He likes to point and play peek-a-boo and give me toys to "share."  He likes to hug and make funny noises and laugh.  He does not, however, do anything you tell him to or appear to have even the most basic comprehension of words.  He calls everything "dadada" or "gagagaga" or "isssssshhhh."  [/quote]

I think I would just do speech therapy and see how things unfold. Also goodle "Hanen method" - their book "It Takes Two to Talk" is great for language delays!  [/quote]
