Progress of My 2 Year Old

If you have been following this blog for some time you will know that I have lots of concern about my 2 year old who has been slow to being verbal.  He will be 3 in August and we are progressing.  He has been saying quite a bit lately.  The things he was saying before that were hard for others to understand has become much clearer.  Every once in awhile he comes out with this great sentence that surprises the pants off of me.  If he is 3 and I don't see any significant improvement I am going to be looking at a county speech school that has your child for 2 hours a day and they work with them on their skill needs.  It is nice to know that there are options to help.  After having him evaluated and being told that he is fine I felt a little like What now?  How can I help him to acquire speech?  I am trying not to freak out too much about it because there is progress which makes me hopeful.  I just can't wait till he communicating clearly and not feeling as frustrated.

  1. I used to be concerned about my sons vocabulary, but now he's fine, so don't worry too much!

  2. My 3rd child, a daughter didn't talk until she was over three.Work with your doctor's obviously, but as a mom of four, I can tell you they just do things at different times. He may just not have anything to say yet :)

  3. You're doing the right thing, monitoring his progress and thinking ahead for intervention if need be. As an SLP grad student I say keep up the good work mom!
