[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is not a good sign. Do not wait and reach out to your pediatrician.

I took speech language pathology and at this stage she should at least know a few words! Zero words is not a good sign.

Early intervention is important![/quote]

Yes but it's fixable right? [/quote]
DP. PP is being extremely alarmist. While not having words at 15 months is outside of the normal range, a significant portion of children that do have delays at this age, especially if it is just in expressive language, can catch up on their own. Our DD had no words at 16 months, we did do EI and found it super helpful, but I suspect she would have caught up on her own. She graduated from EI after 6 months because she was meeting/exceeding milestones.

The problem is, you don't know if your child will be the one that catches up on their own, or if they'll need help, and interventions work better if you start early. The upshot is - your child, in all likelihood, will be just fine, but you should take advantage of the wonderful resource that is early intervention.[/quote]
