Early Intervention?
Has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with your states early intervention program?
My daughter is 16 months, and hasn’t said any words 😢. The pediatrician doesn’t seem concerned because she has shown other age appropriate communication. For instance she can respond to her name, points, can wave, identify certain body parts, etc.
I can tell she knows what certain things are (book, fave toys) and what not. We read pretty much every day. But still no words!
Part of me wants to relax (haha) and trust that the words will come eventually. I myself was a late talker so I know it doesn’t necessarily signify anything, but still I worry about this a lot.
I’m considering reaching out to early intervention, but honestly I’m a little wary about voluntarily seeking gov services. Which sounds insane but I can’t explain it. It just makes me nervous.
Am I overreacting/worrying too much? How were your experiences with EI. Just looking for some insight here. Thanks!
