[quote=Anonymous]My first was like this, too. Still not a single word at his 15 month checkup, at which point we were referred to early intervention. This was in DC, where early intervention is really good. The testing showed a pretty significant communications delay, but no delays in the other areas (they test them all no matter why you’re referred - motor skills, cognitive, social/emotional, communication, and there was one other I forget). We started speech therapy. He still had zero words at 18 months.

Said his first word at 19 months, and then his language took off. At 24 months he was completely caught up and speaking in complex sentences. We only ended up doing six months of services.

He’s now a healthy, happy 5 year old who talks non-stop.

All that to say - you’re either out of the range of normal or close to it. But most of the time that ends up fine. So no need to worry, but yes, if there’s still no words next month, it’ll be time to get him some help to jump start his speech. [/quote]
