Speech and OT

 Autism is rooted in early brain development. However, you won’t notice any of its most obvious signs and symptoms until a child is between 12 – 18-months-old. In fact, a lot of children will develop normally up until that point when they’ll suddenly lose skills and develop autism – something that’s commonly referred to as “regression.” https://www.speechandot.com/early-signs-of-autism/

 Does your toddler struggle to say things that your pediatrician says they should be able to say at this age? If so, they may suffer from a speech delay. Sometimes, simply working with your child can help them catch up to some degree, but that is often not enough.  https://www.speechandot.com/helping-toddler-speech-delay/
