2-1/2 year old still isn't talking
My grandson is 2-1/2 years old and still is not talking or potty trained. They have had his hearing checked, and autism screening. He seems bright and smart. He's very athletic and inquisitive. He's social at his pre-school and has no real behavioral problems. Anyone have any experience with this phenomenon?
I have had some experience with both normal late talkers and kids with true speech and language problems. It is really hard to know which category your grandson falls into Without a lot more info but having his hearing checked and being assessed for autism were important steps. The lack of potty training at this age is not at all concerning as most kids won't be potty trained until age 3 or so. I would suggest that he have a speech evaluation though Early On to determine if there is more that can be done to encourage his language development.
