[quote=Anonymous]I would def do the hearing test - probably the most common reason for speech delays. And I would also try child find because it is free. However, they may diagnose you with a speech delay and suggest therapy - but you should tease out whether there is a developmental issue versus merely delayed speech. If there's no developmental issue and just delayed speech, I'd be inclined at 15 months not to worry about speech therapy (that they may recommend) and see what happens with time. You'll see a lot of people on here claim how their two year old was barely talking and then, after a year of speech therapy poof - full sentences. Hard to know if that's the therapy or the passage of time. I researched heavily when my son was a late talker, and in the absence of a developmental issue, studies show that speech delayed kids look and act and perform as well as heir peers at age 10. So essentially they grow out of it. [/quote]
