i know it is like 3 at 15 mo, 10 at 18, at 2 I want to say it is a lot, like 200 lets see if I can find the chart I have looked at before...

kids health says

From 18 to 24 months

Children should have a vocabulary of about 20 words by 18 months and 50 or more partial words by the time they turn 2. By age 2, kids should be learning to combine two words, such as " baby crying " or " Daddy big. " A 2-year-old should also be able to follow two-step commands (such as " Please pick up the toy and bring me your cup " ).

but 20 by 18 mo doesnt sound right as I think only 1 of mine did this and none were concerned.

OK maybe that is right as it corresponds with this chart

I think every baby is different. I weaned my son at 7.5 months and he is a healthy 21 month old. He has never had an ear infection and has only really been sick twice (Roseola and stomach bug..which my stomach got too) and then the common colds. My 21 month old is very

active and doesn't say a whole lot (which I'm not sure if that is a delay or just no interest yet). I know at 15 months he was on target of how many words he should have and I'm not sure how many he

should have by 2...does anyone know of a chart for that?

Hello , sorry I passed up your email. Anyhow, no I dont have access to a clinical pop, but in my network of friends/collegues/coworkers I do know about 4 kids with untreated brach/plagio but would need to be creative to find folks starting the treatment/helmet process. I am based in the school setting so I do have some resources. I live in Colorado and would like to find some kidos being treated and untreated and do a seven year study. I have access to numerous developmental scales, screens and assessment tools. I was thinking about using the on my son, and then at 2 using either the WPPSI or DAS to IQ test. I think it would be really

interesting! Where are you located?

Re: Developmental Delays

Reagan- I am also a psychologist and was thinking about research in this area- as I have become so frustrated with the inconclusive research. Do you have access to a clinical population (beyond this group)? If you want to brainstorm together I would be interested if we could get our hands on some records this could be an decent retrospective design.
