[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 16272, member: 1722"] Emily- The trick with kids like ours is accepting that one size most definitely does not fit all. I ended teaching Duckie to speak very formally by making sounds for her (vowels, consonants, combinations), then saying the word of anything she wanted. Like cup, book, kitty, oyster crackers, bear, etc. Most kids pick up words fairly quickly this way, but Duckie absorbed and absorbed with no apparent vocabulary growth until she opened her mouth one day and out came pouring all these words. She was making two & three words combinations a few weeks after saying more than Dada & Mama. What I'm saying here is that these skills can take some time to come to fruition. I would also think your son's case may warrant a formal speech assessment and possible intervention since he appears to have some red flags for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). [/QUOTE]
