[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, all. Is the county the only way to go or can I just call someone?[/quote] Go to your pediatrician first. They will refer you for a hearing evaluation. Most speech therapists will want that anyways. You should have some kind of early intervention services in your state - a previous PP pointed out in DC it’s strong start. Our timeline basically went: handful of words at 18 month ped appointment. First hearing test at 19 months. First speech evaluation about a week later. Second hearing test at 20.5 months. Strong start speech evaluation around the same time. Third hearing test at 23 months. Started speech therapy just before 24 months. So the whole thing takes time and they won’t be able to gather all they data they need in one audiology appointment. So I’d just get started, it sucks up a lot of time, but insurance covered most of it. [/quote]
