Red Flag #10
Wow, we finally made it number ten in my section on red flags (early warning signs) in speech and language development! Please forgive my long absence from writing; I went on vacation and it has taken me a while to get back into the swing of things!
Red Flag #10: If your baby does not gesture (point, wave, grasp, etc.) by 12 months of age, it’s time to get a speech-language evaluation.
These could be early warning signs for autism and you will want to seek help immediately. For more information on autism, I recommend visiting the site, autismweb.com. This site is a great resource for anyone with questions regarding autism.
As with any other disorder, the earlier the diagnosis, the better. I recommend you find a speech-pathologist who specializes in autism. Early diagnosis and intervention greatly helps children with this disorder and will give them the support they need.
