Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with this. My son will be 2 at the end of August and is yet to say his first word. I need to stress that he really hasn't said a single word as when I bring this up with other mum's at my local group or at work, they tell me that their child was the same but then say, 'apart from 'mum' and 'dad'' but my son hasn't said one, clear word. He babbles and points and responds to instructions. We have been for a speech assessment and been referred (still waiting for an appointment) but I'm trying all I can to encourage him in the meantime. Anybody been through this or have any tips? I know people will suggest Autism as that's all Google ever throws back at me but has anyone had an example of this where there child has suddenly started to talk?
