Talking
My 14 month old say no words at all, not even mom/dad. I have a 5 year old who is autistic/non verbal, now I believe my baby could be. He just started clapping at 13 months. He doesn't point either 😩 He looks at my mouth when I talk, but that's it.

Hello! I recommend looking into a regional center. My daughter was delayed in rolling and they perform an assessment to see if they qualify for services. They recommended an infant teacher who comes to our house for 2 hrs a month and also an occupational therapist who comes for an hour each week. The services they recommend will depend on your child’s needs. Since starting with the regional center I have seen my daughters improve so much. Also the services they receive are free.
