[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not crazy to refer a nine month old struggling with vowels. Even if a speech therapist won’t diagnose CAS this early, they (not a developmental ped or a hearing test) would be the only one who can use speech therapy to help now and eventually (age 3) diagnose. I’m not saying this is what your child has, but as a mom with a child like yours, if I could go back in time, I would have wanted this on my radar earlier. Reading books like “it takes two to talk” were meaningless until my child could form sounds. Agree with the others that a hearing test is the next step, but call Early Intervention and get on the waitlist now. [/quote] I think most people are thinking “of course a 9 month old wouldn’t be saying words” and ignoring that a 9 month old should be able to make certain sounds and if not, that is indicative of a delay.
