[quote=Anonymous] At 1 year old, I doubt the developmental pediatrician could even tell you much about speech development. That's very young for speech. At that age, a child isn't even a late talker. And it sounds as if she didn't really have the words yet. She was starting to experiment with them. If she started something else, like walking, around then, she could have easily gotten sidetracked. Also, please be sure whoever you see has a solid track record, not just whoever has a quick opening. Lots of bad diagnosing going on out there. I'd take a deep breath, slow down, and target certain words. You could have a special toy box, only bring it down when you are working with her, and start working on single words like ball, car, other nouns, a few times a day for a few minutes. Show her the power of words to get what she wants. And don't overtalk her. [/quote]
