[quote=Anonymous] As the mom of two kids who had language delays-one, due to asd, the other due to fluid in the ears (which was resolved with allergy meds and then speech therapy)- I say, Get a hearing test! Not from the dr office-like at a children's hospital or an audiologist that specializes in children. Your dc could have hearing loss, or something like fluid in the ears. You need to rule out/address hearing loss before you know if dc has a delay or not. I would also get on with Strong Starts (I'm not local but that is your local EI?). Sometimes those programs have a wait to start. In the meanwhile, get the hearing test. Like other pp's have said, if you go to a speech therapist, they are going to ask if dc has had a hearing test (not the birth screening).[/quote]
