    This is soo helpful. Hopefully you could make a video about differences between Autism, global developmental delays and speech delays as it all have almost same symptoms or red flags.

  • Hello, my child is already 32 months, he started expressing words like "thank you" calling some few names of neighbors atound at the age of 10 months, and later one he changed. Just stops and till now the only thing he says is " Daddyhhh" a months back, i gave him food and he said thank you and i was surprised and was hoping to hear more to no avail. He destroys thinks alot, hears very well but at times he pretends not to hear, but upon coming, he runs because he knew that what he was doing was wrong. I please can you help? But the doctors says he will talk but we are still very frustrated. Please any idea?

    My child is 16 months old and hardly see anyone except me and my wife. With the pandemic, even if we go out for a walk to the park or mall, everyone has a mask. He just recently learned to wave bye, hello and flying kiss but never uttered the words "hi, hello, bye". Living in a foreign country, there's no families nor friends with kids to drop by. Also with a different culture, there's only a bit of social interaction in the community. We cut off screen time to 0 and he is saying lesser words now than he did before. He started babbling baba, dada, tata. He says papapa when looking for me and giggles when he sees me. However, He still wont respond to his name but will point to things and images he is familiar with, even naming them. He would bring me books if i ask him do you want papa to read? Im now confused if we should let him watch youtube nursery channel again since they are all the virtual friends he could have for now.

    My 26 month son understands many things we tell him, like turn off/on the light, get in your chair, close the door, put on your shoes, etc etc. He will make gestures like pointing to planes, handing me plates once he's done eating, wave hello and goodbye. He will say "choo choo" when the train comes. At the same time he only understands a few words like mama, dada, hi, banana and does not try to speak back at anything else. Every attempt to teach, he runs to some different toy to play with or look the other way. Really don't understand why and our pediatrician recommended a speech pathologist. Any tips are helpful and will try practicing repeating sounds.

    Heya Naomi, what's your thoughts on the impact of.lockdown during the pandemic and babies who have grown into toddlers now but have minimal social interactions with other babies or people

    My son is 4 1/2. He's been doing speech therapy since he was 2. He wasn't saying much of anything, just grunting like you mentioned. We taught him some sign language which also really helped in communicating. He did, however, understand a lot. One thing we were asked to get checked was his hearing. In his case it wasn't the problem, but it's always good to rule that out! He's doing so well now. His therapist just decided to take him down to one session a week instead of 2. Anyway, my encouragement to those of you who have a child with a speech delay is that the earlier you get it taken care of the better. I was afraid he'd never talk, now he asks constant questions and makes us laugh with his humor. I'm so thankful for Early Intervention and IU13 for their free services and coming to my home every week (I homeschool and have 3 other kids as well, so that's a huge blessing!).
