Ok, I just posted in another thread, but wanted to ask a few questions. Has anyone had a child reffered to a speech therapist? If so what do they do? Alex is 2 and a half, and only saying a few words, and he only says part of the word. I have talked to plunket, and if he does not improve dramatically in the next 4 months he will be reffered to a specialist.
The words he says are:
ti - kitty
de - daddy
tra - car
tra - truck
grin - green
bllu - blue (said without opening his mouth)
daa - duck
daa - stuck
be - baby
ow - no
dee - teddy
poo (typical he gets that one right!!)
There are a few more, but none that he says correctly.
I don't know what to do with him. Everytime he says a word I repeat it correctly. We say lots of words, look at pictures and say the word etc. He is nowhere near putting words together, and is so far behind where he should be for his age.
Help... what can I do with him??

Should I be worried, or will he be ok, just late with his talking?
