[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi! My baby has no words yet at 14 months. She is meeting all other milestones -- she can wave back at you, imitate actions like clapping, tries to use things the right way (like putting a hairbrush on her hair and trying to brush it), and she babbles a lot and sometimes imitates sounds, but no words, not even a clear "Mama." Is this normal?[/quote]

Contact Infants and Toddlers and have them do an assessment. You may qualify for some services - they come to your home and work with your child. I did this with my DC and we received some home visits and services from a special education teacher and an OT. I also enrolled my child in private speech therapy. When my child turned 2, Infants and Toddlers had a small program two mornings a week and it was awesome. My pediatrician also referred us to a developmental pediatrician at 18 months. It can be scary when your little is not meeting milestones, but there is help. Don't wait though. Contact them now. Everything may be fine, but if there are specific speech needs, then you want to start early.[/quote]
