Speech Therapy

My 21 month old son still only says Momma and Dadda. He try's to say other words sometimes but never gets there fully. We went to see my daughters neurologist today for seizure stuff she has and the Dr. Asked us about DS's lack of speech while we were there. She recommends we talk to the pedi about speech therapy for him. I will call and make an appt next week but I wanted to know if there are things we can do at home to help as well? I read to him a lot and point things out and name them. He understands a lot and verbalizes several animal sounds when I ask things like what does the cow say. Thanks!

You don't need to have a pedi referral to call your state's Early Intervention program. Some states call it First Steps or Child Find
