I'm not really worried, just slightly, and hoping we won't need SALT input.
DS2 was 2 a month ago. For a while he's been able to say "thank you", but that's all he says. He babbles constantly, makes numerous different sounds, but seems unable to form them into words. His hearing is fine, and his comprehension is good too.
DS1 was a late talker - didn't say a word until he was nearly 2 - but once he started he was talking in full sentences almost immediately.
DS2 has his 2-year check in a few weeks, and unless things change dramatically between now and then, I'm sure he'll be referred to SALT.
Can anyone tell me stories of children talking this late and catching up easily?
Also, does anyone actually know what SALTs do? Because I can't imagine how you get a head-strong toddler to make sounds you want them to make!
