I have a 32 month old daughter who can only say about 20 words clearly. She is very enthusiastic and expressive when trying to communicate but it is still mostly babble. She tries so hard to coppy words and sing along to songs but it is only sounds rather than words. She gets so frustrated when she can't make herself understood. She is such a loving, happy little girl but I can tell that this is realy starting to affect her. I've tried the health visitor who basicaly said come back when she's 3 so I went to the G.P who said go back to health visitor. I don't want to just wait as I want to help her NOW. Her nursery have picked up on it and have said that they would try hard to improve her vocab. A mum from the juniour school has asked to do an assesment on Lucy for her childminding course. So hopfully we can hear what she has observed and maybe the nursery might refer her to speach therapy. If any one has any advice on how to help her or what groups may be available. I wouldn't mind paying for something that may help, please let me know. Thanks.
