[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he have 20 words or is he non verbal? Because 20 words at 22 months with no other red flags is not alarming

He says words randomly and may not repeat words he used again. Sometimes he just imitates word said by others ,he don't know what it means and never repeats. 20 words includes every word he said so far at least once.Let me list words he used mom, dad, dog, up, down, round, cat( he means what he says) . Happy, this , good ,clean (he doesn't know what it means). I am not sure if it is 20 , but 10-15 for sure![/quote]

When we visited the Camaratas with our severely language delayed son, they suggested 1)dropping down to his utterance level. So if he said one word, we only said two to him. Or if he was saying "ca" we would say "car."  We never corrected, we recasted. So if he sees a dog, and says dodo, we would say, "yes, dog!"

We also used pictures we shot during the day, of him, family members, etc., like flash cards and would go through them, labeling. My son quickly picked up almost a hundred nouns this way. (real life pictures often better than drawings.)  Next came verbs, then adjectives (hard to illustrate visually.)[/quote]
