Everything everyone said and let me add since it says you’re in CA. We have regional centers here that help get you set in the right direction with services for children with developmental delays. Look up your local regional center and ask for evaluations for both of your children.

Also, any kid over the age of 2 years 9 months can also get evaluated with the local school district for speech delays. You call up the district and say you are making a parent request for an evaluation based on suspect of developmental delays because of limited speech.

Also, get a new doctor. Mine didn’t listen, I felt I had a son who was high functioning on the autism spectrum but I kept hearing he’s so aware, he will grow out of it and talk like crazy. I moved and found a new doctor and 2.5 years later my child is talking up a storm, using big words and thriving amazing. He just needed evaluations and services.

It’s worth looking into because there seems to be a pattern. I will say as a parent, figuring out what was going on was actually a sigh of relief. I knew what was up and it equipped me to help my son.

Yeah with my six year old I keep telling the doctor and just saying some kids are late talkers. He talk until he went to school still struggling since only 2 days.. he speaks English and Spanish and in both languages he's having issues...yeah I'm in San joaquin County and what I seen it's that they don't care about kids education or health. I will look at it hope I get some help

You don’t need a doctors referral to get help. Just google “where to get speech evaluation around me” a bunch of places came up for me. Or check the ASHA website ссылка/
You can also find tons of resources on ASHA in the meantime

Get a new doctor. Also call your local early intervention place and set up an evaluation. Good luck.

I would ask for an evaluation with a speech therapist. Sometimes it runs in families and why not check it out? If they can help, fantastic, and if they say she doesn't need help then your mind is eased. No downside! :)
