[@msmforever100]

Thank you SO much for all these AMAZING videos!! I am one year away from getting my Masters degree as an SLP and I wish you were one of my professors at my graduate school! After watching your videos and buying your incredible manuals, etc. I feel so confident and ready for my pediatric externship coming up. I cannot thank you enough for all you do! You’re awesome!!

As a parent going through speech therapy with our son, I found this to be very informative - thank you so much!

This was a fantastic video! My son is 22 months, has an expressive language delay, and has been very resistant to puzzles. Your tips and explanations make so much sense! I had gotten to the point of giving up on working with puzzles with him, but I'm going to bring them out again and look at them completely differently now! Thank you so much!

I wish you were my 2 year olds speech therapist... you had a bunch of helpful tips.. my son says about 15 words all together well and his speech therapist started him on puzzles with no less than 9 animals or whatever the subject was, I'm getting him a puzzle that will be easier for him and go from there thank you for the video!

Your videos are literally a miracle for our household. Thank you for making them! I have a just turned 3 yr old who only says a few words on a regular basis. After being in Early Intervention for the past year we sadly never made it into speech because the wait list was so long. Now we are dealing with insurance issues so while we try to get this worked out I can at least make a stronger attempt through our play which your videos gives me so much help to be able to do it. I only wish I had found your videos long before to get this started earlier but at least they might speed up our little guy (17 months) who is also a non-talker.

Kristi Buckley have you thought of preschool? My son is 3 and has a speech delay and preschool is giving him 60 min of speech therapy per week and 30 min of OT. Look into preschool

Is the push-pull puzzle no longer available? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

[@HelpMeGrowSpeech]

I thought I saw some of these puzzles on amazon and and Lakeshore Learning! Check them out. I also, made my own "pully" by using a magnet from a magnet toy. Hopefully that made sense and helped! Good Luck!

My 20 month old isn't talking yet, should I be worried? She can say about, maybe, 5 words.

[@sumayrarahmanali6998]

pixie1310 hi! I’m going through the same thing with my little one. Just wondering this comment you posted was 7 years ago. How has your child developed since then. Did he/she catch up by age two?

[@pixie1310]

Sumayra Rahman Ali Leanna started saying more words at 2, but it wasn’t until closer to 2.5 years old she would make 2 word sentences. She was diagnosed at 5 with autism.
