Thank you for your answer..she is in birth to 3 services. .there is a ABA who has now started working with us..she gets speech. .OT. you are right I do alot for her when I know I shouldn't. .it's hard to watch her tantrums. .I'm just not sure she is fully understanding yet... .so i.never know if she just doesn't get it and am I pushing her..or is she just in the routine now. She is so much more vocal with tubes in her ears now..and she has started singing.. I don't know what it is but in the tune of some familiar songs..and looking at me and talking in her own language. .hoping these are all good signs..
But again her receptive language is low..she doesn't follow/comprehend directions..just language in general. ..hoping this isn't forever.

I think it's a very good sign,.. My son is 21 months old and has only 2 words without meaning... His babbling is very limited and he shows no interest in communicating with us .. I encourage him all day long to bAbble and try to communicate with me in his own language and was reading that it's the first step before words come in..bec when she is trying to speak in her own language to you it means she is looking at your mouth and face and very soon she will learn the words...
