“Can you take your baby to a speech therapist at 2 years old?”
My 2 year old baby barely says any words. Can you take your baby to a speech therapist at 2 years old?

Absolutely the sooner the better, especially if you have concerns!
Yes please do.
Some children take longer than others to reach some benchmarks. However, if your child is experiencing other health issues is never too early to consult with a Speech Language Pathologist.

Absolutely. Find a pediatric speech language pathologist or a speech pathologist that specializes in early intervention. Not too early at all.
Yes, they will make an evaluation and if is necessary they will recomend therapy.

Definitely! Early intervention (before 3 years of age) is extremely important with regard to speech and language disorders. If your child is a "late talker" or you have concerns with their understanding of language, please see a local Speech and Language Pathologist. You can locate someone who is nationally licensed at ASHA.org/findpro
Best of luck.

A speech language pathologist would be able to assess whether there is a developmental speech delay or something to cause your child to speak later.
Yes, and I would call your local early intervention company for free services at that age!

Hello,
Yes, you can, especially if he is not saying ANY words since it is ideal for him to speak at least 7-10 words and try to join them.
Hope that answers your question!
