Toddler Assessments | Early Intervention Speech Therapy

This video shows me doing an Early Intervention Speech Therapy Assessment with a toddler. I am assessing him for an expressive language delay and a receptive language delay. I hope this helps you to know what an evaluation is like and that the test is simple and nothing to be nervous about! If you are worried about your child, seek an evaluation soon!

Always appreciated 💕

I am getting my 2 year son assessed soon and I am excited to start getting him the help he needs! I can’t wait to see his progress. Thank you for easing my anxiety!

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

I'm glad I could help!

[@amandaewles3895]

I’m trying to decide if I want to go into speech language pathology and this is so extremely helpful. I’m glad I discovered you channel. What a cute little boy, and you are just great with him! :)

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

I'm so glad!

[@MissKathyG]

My daughter’s pediatrician just referred her for Early Intervention Speech Therapy, 18 months old. She babbles like a baby still. I’ve heard 10 month old say more. This was definitely helpful

[@EmeraldSchreier]

I'm an slp student about to do my first assessment with a toddler and this was so helpful to see!! Thank you for sharing

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dorothyronan8220]

I know this video was posted 2 years ago but I’d like to say how your patience touched me, you have a beautiful way with children 🙈

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Thank you so much! So kind of you to say.

[@elisehoffman8898]

he is so cute!!

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Yes he is !

[@th3patsfan83]

My three year old doesn't like engaging strangers, how can this effect an evaluation? I watched him practice alphabet flashcards with his grandmother, he wouldn't answer her without my wife encouraging him to. He is most verbal with my wife and I but rarely speaks in complete sentences.

[@DRLMIS]

What is the difference between delayed developed w/receptive language but only says two or three words and autism w/no receptive language and not saying any words??

[@danaeddins5590]

You are a wonderful early language therapist! As a fellow SLP, it’s fun to see someone else’s techniques and ideas. What formal language assessment battery do you use for your toddlers?

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Hey! Thank for watching! Please share on social media. I use the Rossetti

[@New517creation]

I'm concerned that my grandson may have some delays in speach. I've made my concerns known to my daughter. They still have not gotten an assessment. I fear that he is going to lose out on early intervention if they don't address his challenges. How do I help them see that he may benefit from early intervention?

[@peggysullivan6760]

I wish you were my grandsons speech therapists he lives in Oceanside CA, he had it for awhile then it stopped , why? No idea now starting up again next week

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Thank you

[@MagicalSoulMindStorm]

This was good to see, but it would have been nice to know the results. Is this normal toddler reactions/speech or not? Maybe say what you were looking for during each part of the assessment.

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Thank you for watching and thank you for the advice I will keep that in mind.

[@quinnzane5817]

i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the account password. I love any help you can offer me

[@jaxsonkai7433]

@Quinn Zane instablaster ;)

[@quinnzane5817]

@Jaxson Kai Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@zeynepcingoz2868]

Hey! I am an SLP student. I don't have much experience yet. In this video, you observed taking turns and playing symbolic games. What other skills did you observe? What did you note in your notebook? Do you have a checklist about it? Thank you :)

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Thanks for watching! I don't have a formal checklist. Good luck in your studies.

[@samratalha9727]

My son doesn't say yes or no he understand things...if I ask for something he just get excited to grab the thing but didn't reply that he wanted or not

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Some individual one-on-one work with him might be helpful, asking him to say yes before you hand over the item. I have tons of free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/

[@sana34536]

Hi my son is 7 year old and still speech delay could you plz make video for 7 year old so it's will help me.

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Hi! I work with toddlers only. Best of luck

[@DustyBanditRepellant]

Ok this video makes me a little less worried. My baby is 13 months and plays and sounds like this.

[@clauliz021]

I’m in San Diego too 🙌🏻🤗 how can we get an evaluation?

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Hi! email me at [e-mail]

[@nokuthulanchabeleng8432]

Hi there... I hope this is not inappropriate to ask but how old was that precious baby in the video?

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Just under 2 yrs

[@merc9345]

My son just turned 17 months and only saying mama and Dada. He mimics what I'm doing when I play with him, I play with him lot's and repeat words we use everyday, he understands when I ask him to pick up his toys and some other instructions. I'm just wondering if I should be very worried?

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

If you are concerned speak with his pediatrician. Here is another video you may find helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp2QqaSOrditqbM

[@merc9345]

@@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy Thank you. I just watched that and he does have most of those signs :( I'm going to keep trying the techniques from your videos for a little while and If nothing is improving I'll reach out to a Speech Therapist :)

[@peggysullivan6760]

Also , is a speech therapist the one who recommends an autism evaluation? Is this how all speech therapy goes? My daughter doesn’t tell me much

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

An professional who is working with a child an has concerns can bring up the subject of a eval

[@olohialbert2335]

Very helpful video. My child is 3+ n he still has difficulty in speech.most people tell me cos he doesn't have playmates.......

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Hi! Here are some tips regarding that kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJuWmoVro6hqhdk

[@Gazaqurlxd]

How is he now love ?

[@kiranhania1369]

How many sessions in a week would u recommend?

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

It is really dependent on the child and what the delays are. During the evaluation they will offer a recommendation on number of sessions.

[@jennymeister]

How old is this little one? This is like watching my son! I suspect my son has asd but maybe not? My son is 19 months so still young.

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Hi! Thanks for watching. Seek an assessment if you haven't! and watch my videos on Autism kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5zSY6yBdpuro9k

[@anandguptachemistryclasses6820]

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]

Hi! Sorry I don't know your child and cannot advise. Thanks for watching

[@kaalboyd8327]

Have you ever conducted an assessment of a toddler or preschooler via virtual platform? Any ideas on the how this could be done?

[@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy]
