[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is totally normal.  Early intervention will start being interested if there are no sounds/words at 18 months and won't do any interventions until there are no words at 22-24 months.  You might have friends with early talkers that you are comparing her to, but she isn't even yet a late talker herself.  [/quote]

Not true in MD. My son was assessed before he was 2 and had plenty of words but still qualified based on his lack of enunciation. His daycare teacher told me to get him assessed and it has been helpful. He is 2.5 now and still behind but making progress.

Here is the link to sign up for MD, but each state has a program.

Agree, we are in MoCo (MD) and reached out to early intervention at 16 months because DC had no words at the time. We qualified for early intervention and received parent coaching. By 22 months DC was doing great speechwise (later diagnosed with level 1 autism, previously known as high functioning, but not because of speech issues).

They will not just look at words. They will look at the sounds your DC is making as well. I believe 14 months is in the normal range to not have words yet. However there is no downside to reaching out to early intervention to get assessed.[/quote]
