[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 kids with speech delays and IMO if you can not understand him 80% of the time at age three he should be assessed. If he is just a bit garbled and you can understand more than 80% of the words and others can understand more than 50% he may be OK but I would still get an evaluation. In MD the Infants and Toddlers program will do a free assessment and it can usually be scheduled pretty quickly. My kids ended up receiving therapy at Gallaudet and they have been fantastic. They also take many insurance plans. [/quote] Also, although it should be addressed, a speech delay is something that is treatable and you shouldn't stress out about it too much. My older child needed about a year of therapy but now you would never know it. [/quote]
