My DD is 22 months and has no real words (she says dada and sh for shoe and does babble). She is also not walking yet - we are thinking hypermobility as her ankles don't seem strong enough to support her but she has got the right idea and is making progress. We are awaiting a paed appointment next month, I have self referred to SALT and I am awaiting a hearing check for her. Every HCP who has seen her so far seems to think she is fine socially (I guess they are looking for signs of autism/ASD) and her fine motor skills are ok.
Anyway I am now becoming increasingly worried about the fact she doesn't have any words and am thinking what I can do to help her. I came across the Hanen book but didn't know if it was more suitable for delayed speech once they have a few words. Can anyone advise - I just want to get an idea before I spend £40 on a book?!
