Childs speech

[gee111]

What age did you child start talking? My child is 14 months old and he doesn’t say one word, doesn’t babble, can’t gesture and he doesn’t understand anything I tell him. He can make one syllable sounds and he shouts alot but that’s about it. When I try and teach him he is not interested at all. I have spoke to the healthcare visitor about this and should hopefully be getting some help with this but has this happened to anyone else’s child and did they turn out fine in the end?

It's really good that the HV has taken this seriously. Has she referred him for a hearing test and Speech and Language Therapy?

Hi,

I've got 3 children.

My first was amazing at talking.
Second was the same as your little one, and is non verbal ASD.
My 3rd is currently 18months and again the same, however I'm trying not to look into to much, all children are different. Usually health visitors say it's normal and not to worry at this age? Xx
