My SIL has a daughter three weeks older than my 15 month old. She can label animals, colors, shapes, family members.... my son can say "dada" and that is it. Literally feel like the WORST MOTHER EVER. Doesn't help that they live right across the street, so I never get a break from my feelings of inadequacy.
Don’t beat yourself up hun, every child is different. My mom used to work with special needs kids and there was a 5 year old nonverbal. One day the boy started speaking in full sentences and floored everyone. Just do your research, try your best, and most importantly enjoy your time with your precious child. It will all be okay :)
Every child is different and it's not your fault. My boys spoke later and less clear than my daughter's. If you are concerned speak to your child's doctor during a check up. Most importantly don't compare children and don't compare yourself we all do the best we can.
From a former child prodigy who did everything earlier than my peers I can tell you now that it won't matter in 20 years.I have ex classmates who barely could draw a straight line when I was writing and counting and doing basic math and they now have better jobs or are very acomplished. Now, my daughter is nearly two and does not say a word ( she is an ex micro prem so that is a factor for a delay ) and while I do my best to find resources like this video to help her start, I also refuse to fall into the mindset that this minor setback is going to define her whole life...because I know it won't. Unless a disability has been diagnosed, who spoke first and who used the potty first won't have any meaning when they are adults
Great video, high energy, to the point and delivered in an easy to understand way. I find the examples you give after explaining to be super helpful. Tysm for sharing your knowledge with us parents for our precious little ones. Blessings to you!
I am a nanny of 11.5 years in NYC. The little guy I am working with is 21 months old and has been speaking in 3 and 4 word sentences for a few months. Every child is different. I find talking to a child in sing-song voices, over exaggerated facial expressions, and speaking to them similar to an adult is key. Explaining, describing, involving children in everything I do... it makes all the difference.
I literally love your videos especially considering the speech therapist my son has right now is HORRIBLE… says wayyyy to many words, talks so fast,& never does anything exciting.. etc & seems to care more about the time and rushing out door!! We currently are going through preschool services but switching back to private speech therapist!!! Wow what a difference in therapist & the way they actually interact with a child!! P.S - you are exactly where your meant to be. Everyone should take lessons from you… you can tell you actually LOVE your career which makes a huge impact on kiddos! 💜🩷
Thanks for these tips. My son would be 3years old next month but just says a few single words like, 'go, up, apple and ball', other times, he just babbles. His favourite word is Apple, he loves to say it at anytime. He is not autistic. I want to get him to start saying sentences but I just dont know where to start from.
So typically we would like to see a child's vocabulary be roughly 250 words before using sentences, and 50 words to begin combining 2 words - HOWEVER, you could teach 2 word combos by combining his favorite word "apple" with other fun words that he already says - you could roll apples around and say GO APPLE!!! or throw apples in the air and say APPLE UP! etc. You could also combine onomatopeas with apple like "UH OH! APPLE! or YAY! APPLE!" or "MMMM! APPLE!" etc. Hope this helps!
Wow the book tip was awesome! I struggle keeping my 2 year olds attention with a long book/page. Never thought of this. Seems so obvious after you explained.
I spoke late too And I think it wasn’t mostly just because I like to be quite lol I’m still like this sometimes But my daughter definitely has a speech delay
I was always quiet and when I was told to basically narrate everything all day; I found that advice to be unrealistic. My son was born super early and he is finally starting to talk but still babbles a lot more than actually speaking real words.
@@Bloomsong1020 how early was he and when did he start using words im worried my daughter was 3 months early she’s 18months and I don’t know how long before I should consider speech therapy
Thanks you so much for these tips my child is 19 month old and is starting to say some words I wanna help him talk bc it looks like he want to start talking but I didn’t know how to start I read him every night but I know it’s not enough! As a first time mom it’s hard, but I thank god that we have the internet!
My 26 month old has a speech therapist that comes 2x weekly for his expressive speech delay. She does basically none of this it seems like a waste of time! This video seems really helpful and ill try adding in a few of these techniques.
Don't feel bad about advocating for another speech therapist. Every child needs to "jive" with their therapist and have that rapport and bonding in order to make progress!
I naturally do all these. My first three were early talkers but my 4th is 13 months and she’s quiet as a mouse. Only says Dada. But she loves books and songs so hopefully she catches up soon.
thank you thank you thank you sooooooo much!!! we cant afford private therapists and it feels almost impossible to get any help from anywhere I call. My insurance won't cover therapies, and I make to much for any kind of aid! All of my money is going to my mortgage and bills though! so THANK YOU for helping give basics of communication skills.
I'm so happy I found this channel. I've been getting nervous about my daughter not using many words, she knows a few single words and very small sentences but a large amount of her speech is just babbling. I hope these tips can help me
Thank you soo much for this video, will definitely try this, I haven't been to a doctor for assessment but recently discovered that he might be autistic after talking to my doctor if I should be concerned at 3yrs he's struggling to form sentences, he suggested I research abt autism and he has most of the symptoms however he is getting there slowly with his vocabulary at 1st I thought he was just stubborn but now he's 3 and there's nothing to be stubborn abt he is struggling somehow. I am very patient with him now and each time he learns a new word it's an ecstatic moment for the both of us!!! Thanks again, I really appreciate this, will come back to advise on progress achieved
Some autistic children learn best through phrases vs single words! I would recommend checking out information on gestalt language processing - I have a video with tips ruclips.net/video/sB4uI_dHJOA/видео.htmlsi=n4gFBKKupgETr16M but Meaningfulspeech.com also has a lot more indepth information!
My son has Down Syndrome and is mostly non verbal. We have great speech therapists and have worked with great speech therapists. I am also working with him at home so these are super helpful so thank you sooooo much!
Tell me why I am watching this video, and when she says "PEEK- A - BOOO!" I automatically feel a smile come on me. lmao. I am a grown adult, i can just imagine how a child must feel with the same energy ^-^
So glad you are back! Thank you for posting. We sure wish you lived closer to help our son. In the meantime, we'll just look for your videos. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for the comment! I apologize I’ve been not as frequently posting lately, I’ve been on the fence about announcing the reasoning since it’s medical but hopefully ready to get back into weekly posting now!!

My son is turning 2 in July and he can only clap, point, fist bump, say “mama” and “dada”, he headbutts (that’s super fun 🙄😂), and he can nod or shake his head. I’ve tried practically everything and he just won’t talk :/ it really makes me feel bad because I feel like I’m not doing enough for him. We have a friend who’s daughter is literally 4 months younger than him and she can speak so well 😔 but he understand when we talk to him. We tell him yes, no, give me that please, bring this to mama/dada, and he does it. He can climb into his high chair to show us he’s hungry but he doesn’t try to say it. This video really helps, hopefully I’ll come back in a few months with better news ❤
My son is the same. Honestly it isn't until you see other kids speaking that you feel some type.of way about your own kid. He's perfect to me but I can't ignore the reality. I'm just trying to help him early before it's too late because I definitely allowed bad habits like leading me around for stuff instead of using words by not intervening earlier . Just from a couple weeks of changing that he's a lot more vocal. For months he was such a quiet child even though he laughs and plays a lot 😔
@@dacrib5350my son will be 2 this month he say a few words he always pointing when he want something or he go gets it his self and bring it to me to open it I go over words everyday with him I got him tested they said he’s fine he does most things that’s out of his age range he does everything but talk
wow so many amazing tips thanks for this!! it's hard being a first time mother and while some of this seems like it should just be common sense , it just doesn't naturally occur for all of us 😅 i'm a very quiet person so i've been trying my best to talk as much as i can to my sons but i think i'm missing the being interesting and fun aspect 😂
Momming is hard. We can barely make it though the day, so being fun and interesting isn’t top priority for most. Don’t worry, I’m right here w ya & you’re doing great! ❤
Thanks a million ma'am. I'll try this out. My son started speaking and at age two he stopped. Right now he has become monosyllabic but can't answer his name nor say "I am fine". It's so exhausting
My son is autistic and non verbal with apraxia. He doesn’t wanna use pecs or sign no matter how much we try lol. He usually leads me by my hand around the house to show me what he wants. I had enough one day because I was exhausted. He finally started saying “mi mi mi mi” for “milky” when he saw I wouldn’t get up. I got up once he said “mi mi mi” tho!
My son is 4 and also autistic. He also will not use pecs or sign. His speech teacher pushes pecs hard and it makes him so angry that he screams and cries the entire session. He leads us around by hand and puts our hand on what he wants or he will get the actual object and hand it to me. Like if he wants chocolate milk he will open the fridge and hand me the chocolate milk or put my hand on it. He has a few “words” like dada, mama, yeah, night night, and sissy. He refuses to do any speech related things in front of his speech therapist but he will do things for me. I wonder why they push pecs so hard with autistic children? Every child that I’ve come across that has autism refuses to do pecs.
@@AmandaLeeRex my son is the exact same way!! When I look at pecs I understand lol. They are all weirdly colored and the pictures are all over the place. I have some printed out pics of things my son likes, like his juice, or tv shows he likes… and he will use them MAYBE 1/20 times lol. I think when he is older he will be interested in just typing out his needs because he loves the alphabet. But as of right now, the hand leading is what works for him! My son also screams so much during speech. I had to do in-home because he would have meltdowns from just pulling into the parking lot. Now we are fully virtual and I just receive advice to implement at home 🫠
Ooof find a new SLP. As an SLP myself, PECS is antiquated. Look for a therapist well versed in AAC and gestalt language processing. Research shows that 85% of autistic children are gestalt language processors.
Why there is no video for few months... Yes or no question i have tried with my kid and it is a success.... Now my kid started saying yes and no for his likes and dislikes.. i have been following ur videos.. it's been very useful and at the same time very interesting... Thank you so much 😊
Hi!!! I have 1 video that I filmed about 5 months ago that I will try to get out in the next week or so! I love that you keep up with my content - thank you! I actually just finished our 3rd round of IVF and am currently 36 weeks pregnant with our 1 little embryo! So I appologize no videos recently but hang in there!! super soon!
What a great video. I just need to help my 6 years ASD son to have more functional speech that too much eco and self talk which is random and unrelated speech. Plssss help
My little is turning 3 in two weeks, and they have a lot of words, but they still use mostly jargon as fillers... my wife and I only worry after gathering with my brother's 3 year old and our out of town cousin who is also three and you can have full conversations with them, their speech feels so much more advanced that our little. It's hard to not feel like we're letting them down in some way because the other kids have had the benefit of daycare and exposure whereas ours was at home (pandemic and financial reasons). Some of these strategies feels like it's beneath them but at the same time they feel like things we should have been doing and didn't, either because we didn't know better or it was difficult because we were also working from home. Ugh.
This doc helped my son improve and get over autism with his herbs .His name is Dr Oyalo on channel. My sons speech and behavior/social skill has improved perfectly using his herbs
This video is amazing and a great reminder and wake up call as i used to do it and have started to slack a bit. I really would love your advise. My now 34 months old was an early talker. Said a few words very early and repeated so many words and sounds after he turned 1. Then we moved countries, he had a little burnimg accident and he became a big brother..and now he won't even say mama anymore. He is Babbling, making a lot of sounds but rarley a word. He won't reapt or anything. Everynow and then he suprises us and sometimes he says more than others but he js clearly behind and I feel lost and confused... Help and advise please? 🙏🏼🥺
@@amyhankins5644it's so confusing when this happens isn't it? But I keep thinking maybe in a years time we will laugh and think when will they stop for a minute with talking 😂
My partner watches our 17 month old and he always has background music on. Sometimes I find it’s too loud. Is it possible that music can keep my baby from paying attention? He’s had delayed milestones and I have a feeling it’s because he’s being constantly stimulated with too many toys and too much sound.
My wife and i just started having appointments with a speech therapist for our son. When his speech therapist arrives at our home she just seems to play with his while we do and make sound effects for 45 minutes then tells us to keep doing what were doing and leaves. Is this how a typical appointment would go? At this point we just feel as if nothing happens during his appointment. Thank you for any advice!
Great question! I actually have a video that is titled “help! My speech therapist just plays with my child!” Or something along that lines on my language development playlist! Be sure to check that out! It COULD mean that she is working on a few of the prelinguistic language skills - such as attention span, Moto imitation & communicative intent - but she should be communicating with you on which skills she is targeting & why during the sessions. I would definitely ask questions! & also check out my video on 11 prelinguistic language skills!
My son just started speech therapy as well. Mine are virtual and basically just watch us play and give tips and tricks on different phrases to use. I’m giving it a chance but would love to know if your experience has gotten better
I find this very helpful thank you! However I'm trying to teach my baby Spanish first but I find this even harder in Spanish because we don't have so many monosyllable words like in English you have to say "empujar" and in English it's just "push" so it's much easier in English :(
Use both words when you speak! Typically children will understand both words but will choose the easier one to say at first. As their speech/language skills develop over time, simple switch to the spanish word and they should easily pick up on it!
My daughter is 18 months and only says dada. She babbles a lot and excessively, what is your advice for when she does that? How do I respond to her? Should I encourage continued babbling? Thank you for this video and advice!
Babbling is good! Babbling is an important stepping stone. Encourage her to continue to do it. She might be talking to herself or thinking out loud. If she makes eye contact and babies at you, there is a good chance she’s trying to communicate. Just answer her, ask her what she means, point and pick up things. Connect in her mind that words = communication = objects/feelings/actions. Eventually she will create more word connections. She’s probably going to be very chatty or talk to herself more as a child!
Thanks for the comment and question! I would recommend using these tips with emphasis on VOWELS! instagram.com/lovevery/reel/C1KjLhyAVQx/ Here is a reel I just did for @lovevery that gives some examples of vowel focus and pairing!
What do i do if im already doing these things and its not working? I often do slot of the methods you mentioned but all we get is mama and not even in relation to things we sau he just says it randomly
Hello Doctor, My son has delay in expressive language and tongue tie, where he has age adequate receptive language, emotional response. Could you please help me by making video on parallel talking. Thank you.
I am a nanny, I have been trying hard to make the toddler speak 2 words, she is still in a 1 word phase but the parents always gives it a wrong meaning. I am upset feels like they are confusing her with words . I know the child is saying Yes but gives haiesh sound for saying Yes and when she wants something she keeps going haiesh haiesh which I understand as she wants it and asking for it by nodding her head down . The parents says Hi in a response when she is actually saying Yes.. while I say yes? She nods haiesh I know she is saying yes to it. And when I tell the mom about it she is like no she is saying hi.. when I wanted to repeat after her by saying yes? Heish yes!!!
I'm looking for the video where you discuss eye contact, put purple paint on your nose, suggest putting the child in the air to encourage looking at your face. I can't find it, just had it
Hello and Ciao from Italy. I learned a lot from your videos. Any suggestions and advices for a GESTALT learner child? My daughter actually memorized all the nursery rhymes, alphabets and shapes but no actual conversation. She knows some expressive speech such as " Go bed" , drink milk.
my son is 2 and he says things like let’s go randomly and he can also sing the mickey mouse club house song but in gibberish idk what to do he picks and chooses when he wants to talk.
my 2y 1mo toddler is still saying "baba and ab-PHU" and she calls us (i.e., both parents) by making various sounds. I am seriously concerned about her speech delay. we have scheduled a session with a speech therapist for an initial assessment
Let me know how the assessment goes! Try some of these tips since it seems like they are babbling (with focus on vowels!) instagram.com/lovevery/reel/C1KjLhyAVQx/
Hey@@TheSpeechScoop. Thanks for your reply. We are advised to have "Ear Tubes" for our toddler owing to fluid in her ears which has impacted her hearing and caused a lack of verbal speech development
This was amazingly helpful!!
So important to teach the parents how to teach our children!
And such clear action items 🎉

wow so many amazing tips thanks for this!! it's hard being a first time mother and while some of this seems like it should just be common sense , it just doesn't naturally occur for all of us 😅 i'm a very quiet person so i've been trying my best to talk as much as i can to my sons but i think i'm missing the being interesting and fun aspect 😂
Momming is hard. We can barely make it though the day, so being fun and interesting isn’t top priority for most. Don’t worry, I’m right here w ya & you’re doing great! ❤
Thank you for this video. 💪🏼
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks a million ma'am. I'll try this out. My son started speaking and at age two he stopped. Right now he has become monosyllabic but can't answer his name nor say "I am fine". It's so exhausting
My son is autistic and non verbal with apraxia. He doesn’t wanna use pecs or sign no matter how much we try lol. He usually leads me by my hand around the house to show me what he wants. I had enough one day because I was exhausted. He finally started saying “mi mi mi mi” for “milky” when he saw I wouldn’t get up. I got up once he said “mi mi mi” tho!
That’s a good way to encourage talking and showing your child their words work.
@user-hn5nu2wi4o I wish y’all would stop spamming peoples accounts. I see comments like these everywhere.
My son is 4 and also autistic. He also will not use pecs or sign. His speech teacher pushes pecs hard and it makes him so angry that he screams and cries the entire session. He leads us around by hand and puts our hand on what he wants or he will get the actual object and hand it to me. Like if he wants chocolate milk he will open the fridge and hand me the chocolate milk or put my hand on it. He has a few “words” like dada, mama, yeah, night night, and sissy. He refuses to do any speech related things in front of his speech therapist but he will do things for me. I wonder why they push pecs so hard with autistic children? Every child that I’ve come across that has autism refuses to do pecs.
@@AmandaLeeRex my son is the exact same way!! When I look at pecs I understand lol. They are all weirdly colored and the pictures are all over the place.
I have some printed out pics of things my son likes, like his juice, or tv shows he likes… and he will use them MAYBE 1/20 times lol.
I think when he is older he will be interested in just typing out his needs because he loves the alphabet. But as of right now, the hand leading is what works for him!
My son also screams so much during speech. I had to do in-home because he would have meltdowns from just pulling into the parking lot.
Now we are fully virtual and I just receive advice to implement at home 🫠
Ooof find a new SLP. As an SLP myself, PECS is antiquated. Look for a therapist well versed in AAC and gestalt language processing. Research shows that 85% of autistic children are gestalt language processors.
An onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like the sound it makes- pop, crash, bang. I think you mean interjection
Yes to all! Onomatopoeias, interjections & exclamatory words! 😍😍
Why there is no video for few months... Yes or no question i have tried with my kid and it is a success.... Now my kid started saying yes and no for his likes and dislikes.. i have been following ur videos.. it's been very useful and at the same time very interesting... Thank you so much 😊
Hi!!! I have 1 video that I filmed about 5 months ago that I will try to get out in the next week or so! I love that you keep up with my content - thank you! I actually just finished our 3rd round of IVF and am currently 36 weeks pregnant with our 1 little embryo! So I appologize no videos recently but hang in there!! super soon!
this is the best Speech video Ive seen so far in my hundredsss of search. the best!
So nice! Thank you!!
What a great video. I just need to help my 6 years ASD son to have more functional speech that too much eco and self talk which is random and unrelated speech. Plssss help
My little is turning 3 in two weeks, and they have a lot of words, but they still use mostly jargon as fillers... my wife and I only worry after gathering with my brother's 3 year old and our out of town cousin who is also three and you can have full conversations with them, their speech feels so much more advanced that our little. It's hard to not feel like we're letting them down in some way because the other kids have had the benefit of daycare and exposure whereas ours was at home (pandemic and financial reasons). Some of these strategies feels like it's beneath them but at the same time they feel like things we should have been doing and didn't, either because we didn't know better or it was difficult because we were also working from home. Ugh.
This doc helped my son improve and get over autism with his herbs .His name is Dr Oyalo on channel. My sons speech and behavior/social skill has improved perfectly using his herbs
Hi there😁 thank you for you informative videos. Please can you create some content to help our kids pronounce words correctly🙏
Yes! so I have videos that are sound specific, are there any specific sounds you're looking for help with? :)
thank you
You're amazing, thanks so much for these helpful videos!
This is so nice! Thank you!
Is mirroring their speech pattern and adding one best used in therapy /modeling/teaching or when generally communicating with toddlers?
This video is amazing and a great reminder and wake up call as i used to do it and have started to slack a bit. I really would love your advise. My now 34 months old was an early talker. Said a few words very early and repeated so many words and sounds after he turned 1. Then we moved countries, he had a little burnimg accident and he became a big brother..and now he won't even say mama anymore. He is Babbling, making a lot of sounds but rarley a word. He won't reapt or anything. Everynow and then he suprises us and sometimes he says more than others but he js clearly behind and I feel lost and confused... Help and advise please? 🙏🏼🥺
Same but mine is 33 months 😢
@@amyhankins5644it's so confusing when this happens isn't it? But I keep thinking maybe in a years time we will laugh and think when will they stop for a minute with talking 😂
@larissa4328-b8f I hope so, thank you 😊
My baby does n’t copy me?? What can I do ? I m very worried about it😢
Hello, awesome tips and strategies, can't wait to share with my preschoolers and parents ❤
@Mp-wc2chfraud
@Amina90982fraud
Thank you for sharing!
Hi,
Thank you so much for sharing 7 tips for late talking toddlers. I did note and will try the same with my clients.
Great videos … so helpful for my kid ❤️
Awesome! Thank you!
My partner watches our 17 month old and he always has background music on. Sometimes I find it’s too loud. Is it possible that music can keep my baby from paying attention? He’s had delayed milestones and I have a feeling it’s because he’s being constantly stimulated with too many toys and too much sound.
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.
My wife and i just started having appointments with a speech therapist for our son. When his speech therapist arrives at our home she just seems to play with his while we do and make sound effects for 45 minutes then tells us to keep doing what were doing and leaves. Is this how a typical appointment would go? At this point we just feel as if nothing happens during his appointment. Thank you for any advice!
Great question! I actually have a video that is titled “help! My speech therapist just plays with my child!” Or something along that lines on my language development playlist! Be sure to check that out!
It COULD mean that she is working on a few of the prelinguistic language skills - such as attention span, Moto imitation & communicative intent - but she should be communicating with you on which skills she is targeting & why during the sessions. I would definitely ask questions! & also check out my video on 11 prelinguistic language skills!
My son just started speech therapy as well. Mine are virtual and basically just watch us play and give tips and tricks on different phrases to use. I’m giving it a chance but would love to know if your experience has gotten better
@Amina90982 thats a horrible take you cant heal or cure autism
She is doing great hang in there it will pay off I was just like you but results were amazing I hope this helps
Thank you so helpful
I wish you were my daughters speech therapist
This is great!! Thank you for this resource. ❤
Thank you so much
Really healpful
Thank you very much 😭😭 This was such a help to us as we have a long wait to get in with a SLP in our area.
Anytime! Happy to help!! ❤️
So good. Thank you
This was just on top of the main page and I'm so glad I clicked it. My baby is only 5 months but I love the tips for when he gets older
Yay! so happy! for your 5 month old, be sure to check out this REEL from @Lovevery where I go over tips to move from cooing to babbling
Thanks for the tips
Where can I get the book u recommended on your real for 5year
Who needs receptive language skills

Great video! Thank you!!! We have the same toys. 🧸 you are amazing. My wife and I appreciate you.
Thank you! so informative.
Thank you so much ❤
Thank you for making this
This video is gold, thank you 🙏🏼
Thank yuo for the comment!
I find this very helpful thank you! However I'm trying to teach my baby Spanish first but I find this even harder in Spanish because we don't have so many monosyllable words like in English you have to say "empujar" and in English it's just "push" so it's much easier in English :(
Use both words when you speak! Typically children will understand both words but will choose the easier one to say at first. As their speech/language skills develop over time, simple switch to the spanish word and they should easily pick up on it!
My 21 month old doesnt even say mama but he used to at 4 months? Why would this happen he stopped chatting when he started crawling/walking.
Will this help 🤔 non verbal children also?
Absolutely!
I do not have the personality or energy to be THAT animated. I will TRY!!! thank you for this video!
This
😢
I was literally saying the same thing lol
Hahaha how can a kid not enjoy such faces even I'm enjoying watching ur video. Thank u for teaching me how to play with child.❤
Omgd ! im so glad im seeing this video 🎉 god bless you 🎉
My daughter is 18 months and only says dada. She babbles a lot and excessively, what is your advice for when she does that? How do I respond to her? Should I encourage continued babbling? Thank you for this video and advice!
Babbling is good! Babbling is an important stepping stone. Encourage her to continue to do it. She might be talking to herself or thinking out loud. If she makes eye contact and babies at you, there is a good chance she’s trying to communicate. Just answer her, ask her what she means, point and pick up things. Connect in her mind that words = communication = objects/feelings/actions. Eventually she will create more word connections. She’s probably going to be very chatty or talk to herself more as a child!
Thanks for the comment and question! I would recommend using these tips with emphasis on VOWELS! instagram.com/lovevery/reel/C1KjLhyAVQx/ Here is a reel I just did for @lovevery that gives some examples of vowel focus and pairing!
What do i do if im already doing these things and its not working? I often do slot of the methods you mentioned but all we get is mama and not even in relation to things we sau he just says it randomly
So amazing thank you for this
🫶🏽
Thank you so much, super helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Doctor, My son has delay in expressive language and tongue tie, where he has age adequate receptive language, emotional response. Could you please help me by making video on parallel talking. Thank you.
I am a nanny, I have been trying hard to make the toddler speak 2 words, she is still in a 1 word phase but the parents always gives it a wrong meaning. I am upset feels like they are confusing her with words . I know the child is saying Yes but gives haiesh sound for saying Yes and when she wants something she keeps going haiesh haiesh which I understand as she wants it and asking for it by nodding her head down . The parents says Hi in a response when she is actually saying Yes.. while I say yes? She nods haiesh I know she is saying yes to it. And when I tell the mom about it she is like no she is saying hi.. when I wanted to repeat after her by saying yes? Heish yes!!!
I'm looking for the video where you discuss eye contact, put purple paint on your nose, suggest putting the child in the air to encourage looking at your face. I can't find it, just had it
Zあ！😢けわ'.0😊0
Super helpful
Thank you for the comment!
What can I do to help a 10 yr old? I was told his speech was delayed. I'll be taking care of him on Monday and I'm lost
Hello and Ciao from Italy. I learned a lot from your videos. Any suggestions and advices for a GESTALT learner child? My daughter actually memorized all the nursery rhymes, alphabets and shapes but no actual conversation. She knows some expressive speech such as " Go bed" , drink milk.
Same as mine but he can’t communicate he can only show you what he wants
yes! I do have a video on gestalt language processing and also if you check out meaningfulspeech.com she has a lot of great information and resources!
great video thanks
Hi. I just discovered your channel. What strategies can I use with a 2 year that has suspected CAS?
my son is 2 and he says things like let’s go randomly and he can also sing the mickey mouse club house song but in gibberish idk what to do he picks and chooses when he wants to talk.
Really practical and helpful.Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
my 2y 1mo toddler is still saying "baba and ab-PHU" and she calls us (i.e., both parents) by making various sounds. I am seriously concerned about her speech delay. we have scheduled a session with a speech therapist for an initial assessment
Let me know how the assessment goes! Try some of these tips since it seems like they are babbling (with focus on vowels!) instagram.com/lovevery/reel/C1KjLhyAVQx/
Hey@@TheSpeechScoop. Thanks for your reply. We are advised to have "Ear Tubes" for our toddler owing to fluid in her ears which has impacted her hearing and caused a lack of verbal speech development
