[quote=Anonymous]We did DC early intervention for eating solids and had a very positive experience with the assessment.  The OT we got actually wasn’t super helpful, so we also hired private feeding therapy.

Because sometimes speech therapists are the ones that do feeding therapy, we also met with the speech therapist at the private place we went to. That meeting raised some concerns in our son who - while he had probably about four or five words at 10 or 11 months – he seemed to have fairly limited receptive language skills. Then suddenly, shortly after turning one, it was like a switch flipped, and his receptive and expressive language took off.

Is your baby pointing at things? That’s such a powerful form of communication and it preceded his language taking off by about a month.

I mentioned all this to say: 1. do reach out to early intervention or find private therapy, it really is nice to talk to an expert about these things, but but realize that you may need to meet with more than one place to find the right person and 2. For us at least, it really was like a sudden change in his to ability to communicate and understand. If I were in your shoes, I would start taking steps to line up some therapy, but I would not feel too worried yet as the change can happen fairly abruptly and, as people on this thread of pointed out, it can happen at many different ages in the first 2 to 3 years of life.
