[quote=Anonymous]For the PP with a 23 month old:  yes, if you have going to Early Invention (it's called Child Find in Maryland) and they found he had a significant delay, they will provide him with speech therapy.  Whether it's enough a week you'll have to determine.

BUT, YES, a child of 16 months and 24 months and 21/2 years old CAN benefit from speech therapy.  The speech therapists know stuff we simply don't know, and will start working on the child using sounds and language - developmentally appropriately.  that is, the therapist would expect different hings of the 16 month old than the 21/2 year old, but would also work where the child IS and know where they want the child TO GO in their language development.

I am simply NOT a "wait and see" kind of person.  So I would absolutely start speech therapy - the OP is going to do that through EI, and her question is whether to supplement with private also.

To the parent of the 23 month old:  YES, start your child in therapy.  [/quote]
