My son is 2 years old (27 months). He is speech delayed. We had his hearing checked and that was ok. He is in daycare four days a week and is the best daycare in our area. (We live in PA.) We pay for a speech therapist that we visit for a half-hour once a week. We also have early intervention services through our county. A speech therapist comes to our house one hour each week as well. We have appointments with two neurodevelopment pediatricians. (not available until January!) Everyone says that they do not think he is autistic but he definitely has a speech delay. We read to our son constantly. We have a basket of books in every room including the bathrooms. I am in corporate training so I open and ready to any suggestions on how I can best help my child. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

my best friends son has a speech delay. He got all of the svc that you mentioned. He was dx with a 1 yr delay. He's 5yr old now and has the speech of a 4yr old. He's done so much better since having the speech therapist. He was so shy and frustrated because of his speech. He used to act out from the frustration due to his lack of communication. Everything has changed. [ Reply | More

Hi mom - My son is 24 months with a speech delay. He has been checked out by a Mass. Gen. neurologist, Early Intervention and the Childrens Hospital Boston Pediatric Development Center (7 month wait...with strings pulled!) These days it seems every Dr.pulls the autism trigger and we heard it over and over. But I knew he was ok save this one quirk of no speech. He has tested fine for every possible disorder. I am now just going to back way off and let nature take its course. Our boys will talk soon enough. You have my sympathy and compassion. [ Reply | More
