[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 474979, member: 11847"] Malika, being bilingual is most relevant! When my oldest was evaluated (he was about 20 months then), they did take that into account. But it is not used as a single explanation. In my oldest son's case, the therapists said that his speech was too severely delayed to be explained by the single fact that he is bilingual. I guess although nice to know "why", it is not that important after all. If there is a delay, speech therapy is the solution. It cannot hurt in anyway. For the child, it is more like a fun playdate and it is better than having a bigger problem later on. Despite the fact that baby girl does not use words, she does not really understand speech either unless I use gestures. Simple directions such as "give the bottle" "give the ball" I think she should understand by now but she does not. She also does not answer yes or no questions. If you ask her "do you want some yogurt" she will shake her head no. The head shaking can mean either "yes" or "no". [/QUOTE]
