Suggest Treatment For Speech Delay In A 2 Year Old
I have a kid of 2.5 yrs - having speech delay - we are working with him for last six months (after 2nd birth day)...has improved a lot...now in 2-word stage (connective)..... PDD was diagnosed @ 2-yrs...but after stimulation (more people at home, talking in single language rather than multi as we have shifted from our native state) has shown very good response within 2-months of attention.... At 2yrs we had lot of complains (speech, behavioral), now we have almost nothing, does good play school, mix-up with kids, plays with the, speaks of his needs (susu, potty, pani-dedo etc.)... Should we consider re-diagnose etc. as the PDD word is still within our mind...

Hi,
Yes, you should reconsider and re-evaluate. Other than language, the most significant symptoms is social-emotional connection to other people.
Does he turn to you for comfort?
Does he look to you to figure out if you are proud of him?
Does he point and want you to share in looking at the things he's looking at?
Does he respond to you when you try to direct his interests?
Keep doing what you're doing! Talk to your doctor about these.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Lisa Baker, Pediatrician
