Hi Tegan,

I didn't readall the replies, but I used to work with a Paediatric Speech Path and I would get Lily checked... As monnie said wait lists can be really long ours was in excess of 12 months. Maybe put her on the waiting list now, and if you can afford to get her tested by a private one in the mean time, if when her name comes up for an appointment you can always say no if your no longer worried about it.

Just a hint too. it has improved my friends little boys speech 10 fold, when she brings you something, say a rubber ducky, say 'duck' to her if she replies with babble, say yes it's a duck etc, she may be trying to get things out but can't (which would cause tantrums)... if she points at something try to say what it is, the more she hears the words the more likely she is to learn them

Hope this helps... justa suggestion.. oh and books, read lots of books and point the pictures out while saying what they are!
