Toddler Assessments | Early Intervention Speech Therapy

This video shows me doing an Early Intervention Speech Therapy Assessment with a toddler. I am assessing him for an expressive language delay and a receptive language delay. I hope this helps you to know what an evaluation is like and that the test is simple and nothing to be nervous about! If you are worried about your child, seek an evaluation soon!

    My daughter’s pediatrician just referred her for Early Intervention Speech Therapy, 18 months old. She babbles like a baby still. I’ve heard 10 month old say more. This was definitely helpful

    What is the difference between delayed developed w/receptive language but only says two or three words and autism w/no receptive language and not saying any words??

    My three year old doesn't like engaging strangers, how can this effect an evaluation? I watched him practice alphabet flashcards with his grandmother, he wouldn't answer her without my wife encouraging him to. He is most verbal with my wife and I but rarely speaks in complete sentences.

    I'm concerned that my grandson may have some delays in speach. I've made my concerns known to my daughter. They still have not gotten an assessment. I fear that he is going to lose out on early intervention if they don't address his challenges. How do I help them see that he may benefit from early intervention?

    Some individual one-on-one work with him might be helpful, asking him to say yes before you hand over the item. I have tons of free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/

    This was good to see, but it would have been nice to know the results. Is this normal toddler reactions/speech or not? Maybe say what you were looking for during each part of the assessment.

    My son just turned 17 months and only saying mama and Dada. He mimics what I'm doing when I play with him, I play with him lot's and repeat words we use everyday, he understands when I ask him to pick up his toys and some other instructions. I'm just wondering if I should be very worried?

    It is really dependent on the child and what the delays are. During the evaluation they will offer a recommendation on number of sessions.
