Like you, I have an older ...THANK YOU for sharing! Like you, I have an older child so have a sense of what is somewhat normal and not but am generally laid-back about milestones while recognizing they exist. My younger daughter is someone I've been concerned about language-wise for awhile (honestly, since about 12-13 months). I didn't want to be overanxious b/c I know, in some ways, I'm holding / comparing her to my older daughter who was pretty advanced verbally. And, like Braley, I recognize that she has great "receptive" expression (I didn't know what it was called before reading your post) but not great expressive communication. She's now 17 months, and we have an evaluation on the calendar for this month. I didn't want to do it before now b/c I know there is a range of normal and I can see how much she understands but, at ~17 months, I also want to confirm my intuition. Thanks for your post. You always have great perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4947606646130165108.post-42309931078194733372012-06-19T21:43:10.417-05:002012-06-19T21:43:10.417-05:00Oh, it's no problem!

He only has 3 or 4 words, where he should have 10 or more at this point. <br /><br />As I said, he did not qualify for services through the state, and we are opting out of seeking out private therapy at this time. Will reconsider if we don't continue to see progress on his own.<br /><br />Best of luck! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

We have a 4-6 month wait to get in to speech therapy though.<br /><br />He squeeks and hmmmmms and whines but doesn't say any actual words, and doesn't repeat sounds either.<br /><br />If it's not too personal, what delays does he have?
