[quote=Anonymous]My late talker (only a dozen+ words at 2 years, perhaps 2-4 words at 20 months) started speech therapy shorting before turning 2. At now 7, he has persistent articulation problems and his current SLP suspects mild-moderate speech apraxia. He is also hilarious, gregarious and 1 yr+ ahead academically in both reading & math. So I guess that is my roundabout way of saying, it is impossible to diagnose your kid on the internet. I would start the ball rolling on investigating speech therapy options (including your state infants and toddlers program) and keep an eye on things--I agree though that there can be an explosion in the between 18-24 months. If, by the time you child is closer to 2, there still seems to be a significant delay, it may make sense to start therapy, though in large part the early years are more "training" the parent to assist than necessarily the child.[/quote]
