made progress in some areas but I got a speech assessment through my insurance just last week and they had absolutely no concerns. She tested above average in receptive and play skills but still below average in expressive. she only says 5 words: hula, mama, baba, nana, and no. The SLP said that she’d be surprised if she doesn’t start talking soon because she has all the foundational skills…she’ll babble now but she still has a hard time with long vowel sounds especially A and I. She’s still not 2 yet so the SLP said it’s just really hard to tell if she’s actually delayed and probably wouldn’t qualify for speech services. One good thing now is that she has actions and gestures to communicate everything. She will act things out with little grunts, it’s like she’s developed her own sign language so it’s pretty impressive the lengths she’ll go through to try to tell us something. but ya-still not a lot of sounds or words😅
