My 2 year old could not hear properly due to excessive ear infections until he was around 1 1/2 after he had tubes put into his ears. SInce then he has picked up a few words here and there, but is WELL behind other kids his age. We have worked with trying to get him to talk, but he babbles mainly. He can hear now just fine, and understands commands, we just cant seem to bring his vocabulary up. We read to him, point out things, like " that is a fast red car" versus "car". What can I do to speed up the process? The teachers have pointed out he needs speech therapy, but i want to know what can I do at home to help?
