[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]40-50 words is not abnormal for a 21 month old. If you're concerned, try doing the developmental assessment the doctors use (which is the same thing early intervention would use) for his age. He isn't expected to have anywhere NEAR that many words. Many kids do, but it's very normal not to. I wouldn't dream of delaying school over that. - Mom of a speech delayed 21 month old, as well as a very verbal child[/quote] I don't think it's abnormal, but it is on the low end. Pediatrician said he expects at least that in the next two-three months but ideally wants him combining words. He was on the low end of normal at 18 month checkup as well. This is once again per pediatrician so that's why we are doing the wait and see approach. He is doing fine in other areas so no concern there, I was just worried that introducing more languages into the mix would confuse him even more while he's still trying to figure out English.
