Speech therapy for 2-year-olds is all about communication intention, building routines, and following the child's lead. This is because they have a low attention span and probably can only concentrate around 5-10 minutes with you at a time.
Does your child have speech problems? Relax, it’s normal for 2-year-olds to have speech errors. Check out what your child should be able to do at 2: www.asha.org/public/speech/de...
Because you cannot sit your 2 years old down to drill speech sounds. You should try doing these:
Build phonological awareness - speak slower and articulate sounds clearer. Sing songs and clap out syllables to your child.
Bombard your child with the sounds that she hasn’t learned yet. Emphasize it when you come across a word that has those sounds.
You can wait a bit until you start speech goals, focus on developing his language first!
Communication temptation:
Show the child something s/he wants. Remember, if you don’t start off with something that he likes, you’re not giving a reason for him to talk to you.
Tempt her to communicate with you. You might play with the desired toy, eat her favorite snack, it doesn't matter. Make her want it - sell it hard!
Teach a gesture, a sound, or a word and then give the desired item. You’re building the link between communicating and getting something desirable. Do this many times and it’ll become automatic. Because now he knows the power of speech/gestures.
Build a routine
As simple as pushing a car, a ball, push on the swing. Find a routine that you can engage your child with. Try everything!
It must be something you can do over and over again. It’s not boring if it works and he keeps coming back for it!
When he can anticipate, you can tempt communication.
Following the child’s lead (language facilitation)
Let the child choose the toys - many times we decide what’s best for the child. By giving her the freedom to choose, we also allow ourselves to observe what she likes.
Allow the child to show you how he plays - we learn from our child so that we can use it later to teach what we want. Without this information, it’s very difficult to chime in and become a playmate.
Follow the way he plays, copy what he does, and go with the flow. Be selfless, put the focus on the child. I know you want him to talk but that’s a selfish thought. Meet him where he’s at and have fun!
The main point for this is to build communication intention, the single most important thing at this age! - Навчання та стиль

With the fact that our 2 1/2 year old grandson lives with us and is being brought up bilingual ( English/German) and that we’ve been in various types of Covid lockdowns for the last year, during which contact with other children was minimal, we missed the fact that he is on the spectrum. This 9 minute video is so helpful in getting me out of panic mode and into accepting and trying to understand his world. Thanks for the tools to help us communicate better.
You're very welcome Karen, covid hasn't been kind to children who need social interaction
Thank you. You made it sounds easy and achievable. I always stress on I WANT in whatever situation my son and I encounter , he barely remember to say it but he able to say long sentences like, mama come with me at 2. Will try your advice and hope that my son could build kore vocabulary after this👍🏻
This is great. I have a role play of my goal of pointing for my clinical methods course and this helps so much
Glad that its helpful 😃
I’m having a hard time getting my daughter to repeat what I say …. Even when she wants something if she doesn’t get what she wants she cries instead instead of just repeating what I say or try

He is right my son also 2 years old and he can’t speak sentences but he say words and colors, so i doing the same way as he said i let those sentences repeat everyday long maybe 10 sentences everyday same we did he start change and make sentences also after 1 week of my try now he is 2 years and 3 months and talking well
Thumbs up Ming!
Thanks!
Hi Ming. I have a brother who's 27 months and hasn't said his first words yet. All he does is babble and we all keep trying to engage with him but nothing seems to be working. He's in his own world, as hes in the autism spectrum. What do you think we should do?
Great advice; thank you dude
No problem!
Hi ming, can you give an actual example of a routine for 2 year old boy that you've used that had been successful? I am just at a loss where to start
You can use a car slide: ua-cam.com/video/u1Cq4OJeQG4/v-deo.html
And watch this video of a demonstration from another therapist: ua-cam.com/video/9gTPS0cX4VQ/v-deo.html
@@AgentsofSpeech got it ming! We tried the car slide hehe he's not quite into it as our slide has parking slots and he likes to park the car instead of letting them slide haha. But he did learn open, go, and imitated stop a few times
Did that help?
Just discovered this channel thank you do you have a podcast?
Not yet
@@AgentsofSpeech ok please let me know if you do get one be great to hear from other parents & their outcomes thank you
After hearing you mention not using “I want “ what are some alternatives statements of request that’s appropriate for building up word knowledge, vocabulary expression for my 21 month old boy ?
focus on verbs
My child 2years down syndrome please give me some exercises
I struggle with this so hard living with my bf, his mom and brother. Whenever my daughter goes up to them, they don't engage. Instead they say, what ? Or huh? They don't even try to implement speech..this bothers me since I feel like I'm the only one trying to assist her communication. Idk how my bfs mom did it when she had kids but the way she's doing it now is not it.
so sorry to hear this
Did you have the best toy light sound suggestions for under 2 years? Thanks 🙏🏻
This is helpful, my daughter is 2.5 months with speech delay and she now started to bubble and imitate almost everything I say or heard but not clear just sounds and rhyme. She is good in Vowel sounds but couldn’t pronounce consonants. When I tried to teach her word like “open” Ooo-pppp-een, trying to pronounce them each slowly, clearly but couldn’t say it, sometimes I would hear her say the “O” only or “Ey”. She couldn’t pronounce P and B, having hard time to say it. I’m thinking if I should get her to speech or I’ll wait. She calls me “daddy” but call her mom “yaye”😅 instead of mommy. But when I asked her to say mama, she could, but not using it to her mommy 😆.
you should get an assessment though =D good job!
@@AgentsofSpeech We’ve done it, I was informed she has GDD we are working on it.. she has alot of improvement before we took her to OT. The Ot says she can do speech but she has low attention span 😅
Same with my daughter she says mama and papa I’m so concern she can’t put words together..she sings a lot like babbling singing 😩we speak our local dialect most home and mix with English language..she try to say something but we don’t understand I just enrolled her in speech therapy
My daughter does the same
Same here
My daughter is 2 years 7mnths now and she is not saying any words just blabbering and some words like ball juice ice cream that too very rare and she does not repeats what we do and stays alone and enjoys her own company how can I make her do speech sessions
My Baby us 26 months and he goes to speech therapy. He hasnt spoken his first words to date. Anything I can do at home to help him? any exercise? I am a worried mommy I need help to help him.
Hey Debryanna, you can start with our micro course for parents www.agentsofspeech.com/micro
Same I feel exactly where u are at. My daughter is in the same boat. It really bothers me and my wife. I'm just glad we aren't alone
@@gametime4229 same here I’m soo stressed up
Hey is your baby talking now?
Is she talking yet?
Hello Sir, Can i ask what tip you'll give to a 6 years old boy that is struggling with for ex. pronouncing the word "ship" and he says "dip" something to do with "s" and"d" sound / "faith" and then he says "baith". Your tip really is a great help.
This is what we call "stopping" he changes /s/ &/sh/ to /d/ and /f/ to /b/....
I would suggest that you work on his /f/, try if he can do the /f/ sound by itself first.
Very difficult to tell you more here, the best advice is: find a qualified speech therapist to take care of it!
Thank you for your suggestion, Sir. Its really a great help.
My son is autistic and 21/2, how can I read to him because I understand it's very important at home when you add speech therapy at him especially if u don't get enough therapy from a professionalist. How do I get him to wantto listern and interest ed . Can we watch a auido book instead plz help.
To read? was my question
use a reward and tempt him
Sometimes I feel he doesn't even understand what I'm saying when I talk to him about rewards you know, what I useally do is try to read while his feeling drowzy or falling asleep coz that the only time he sit still
@@bhela2619 show him a reward, don't talk to him... are you sure reading is the best task? use toys!
@@AgentsofSpeech Dont know much about Reading to an autistic child, just a thought I hadto help him with speech. Any other ideas with rewards apart from a toy car which he absolutely love! Sorry to ask so many questions it's just that I've always heard of this reward things and never know how to use it. Thank you so very much, I'll start to today and let u know about the results
i have 2 and half years old son but he doesnt reallu know how to speak even mama or papa he was just saying buy a sound he cant speak anything can you give me some advice doc if what i need to do

Hello Ming, my daughter is 2 and will copy us and say a word. But won’t use it again. She uses hand gestures, but less words. She will grunt and use a gesture for water but won’t say a word. This is common. Any suggestions?
I cannot say if it's common or not, because that's relative. My suggestion is to watch other videos on the channel. If you need more help you can join our course here www.agentsofspeech.com/micro

I would have to disagree with the idea that a 2-year-old isn't able to sit for a long period of time. I've observed my 2-year-old children sitting for extended periods based on the activity at hand. I noticed that, depending on the activity, the child will stay engaged for a while. Following a child's lead is cool, but you need a balance of allowing the child to follow your lead as well.
Are yours Autistic?
My son is 2 years and he don't say single word.. He doesn't even say mama and baba intentionally calling us.. He says randomly.. Never repeat any word before us.. Never follow us.. Few things like I say let's wash you and change pamper.. Thn he comes.. I ask for milk he become attentive.. So few things he understand and do.. Says his own language.. So it's normal?
He follow few things I am use to do with him.. Cutting nail he try to act.. With cotton bud he try to clean.. So few things he is following.. If I want to stop something I have to repeat it
Hi I'm going through the se with my son ATM...has your son improved with his speech ? Tia
