When should I reach out to a Speech Therapist?
You should likely involve a Speech Therapist if your child has concerns in any of the following areas:
Difficulty with words: not showing interest in communicating, not babbling by 9 months, no first words by 15 months, demontrates any "loss" of language or words.
Missing Verbal Milestones: Does not/cannot imitate sounds by 12 months, slowed or stagnant speech development, problems understanding your child's speech at 24 months.
Delayed responses: not able to follow directions by 24 months, decreased or absent response to sounds and voices
Lack of physical reactions to communication: decreased eye contact during interactions, does not imitate simple gestures or actions by 12 months of age, continues to use more gestures than they use words by 18 months
