In this video, I talk with Katty all about language delay warnings, her son's struggle with speech delays and how to tell if it’s autism or speech delay. Katty and her husband are raising their 3.5-year-old son, Santiago, in a bilingual (Spanish and English) household. However, when he started showing signs of a serious speech delay at 22 months old, Katty got to work applying the practices she learned from joining my community and courses!

Some minor speech delays in bilingual children can be common, however, when your child is approaching the age of two with no words and minimal sounds in either language, it is right to raise concerns. When Katty approached her pediatrician, it was clear that Santiago should at least be saying mama or dada, but she was barely babbling. Amid starting my programs and beginning some form of speech therapy and intervention, I recommend revisiting the focus of teaching two languages. A speech delay does not mean your child cannot be bilingual, but you should focus primarily on the language where the child will have the most opportunity for use and practice, usually the language of the country you're living in. Once a child has made progress and caught up from the delays, it's great to add back in that second language.

Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents. Whether you’re looking for autism parenting strategies, working with developmental delays in children, or in search of autism help for professionals, I can encourage you to subscribe to the channel and join me on my journey. I’ll be providing weekly autism resources that you don’t want to miss.
