Toddler speach problems?

My daughter is 2 1/2 years old, and she pretty much only speaks in vowels. Is this normal? She's an only child and she doesn't go to pre school yet. Should I be worried?

Answers:
She could have a speech delay. I suggest contacting Early Intervention Services in your area (sometimes called Birth to Three Program) and let them know your concerns. They will have an ST come to your home, free of charge. If your daughter is delayed and qualifies for the program, they will begin therapy sessions; again, for free. You do not need a doctor or an insurance approval for this service. My daughter had speech therapy through EI for seven months. GOOD LUCK!
