“Can a speech delay be fixed?”
My daughter is 2 years old. She is not talking yet. Can a speech delay be fixed?

I would recommend a Well Child visit with your PCP to rule out any medical conditions and then also get a hearing test done as well. In the meantime you can order or make your own picture book to assist with non verbal communication and to help with the basics of routine items throughout the day like mealtime, hygiene, clothing transitions from day to night, and things like that.
A speech delay in a 2-year-old child can often be addressed and improved with appropriate intervention. I recommend consulting with a speech-language pathologist who can evaluate your daughter's speech and language skills. We will be able to identify any underlying factors contributing to the delay and develop a targeted treatment plan tailored to her specific needs. Early intervention is key to addressing speech delays effectively.
Yes of course. Do see a speech pathologist.
She should be talking by now. Some kids are delayed, but it might be a good idea to seek an evaluation with a licensed speech-language pathologist. Talk to your doctor for a referral. She may need some speech and language therapy so start with an evaluation.
Because it is not known the cause of your child's delay, it's impossible to determine if this is an item that can be "fixed." Having an evaluation completed is the best course of action to determine your child's needs.
Between 2-2 1/2 would be a good time to look into early interventions if you are concerned about late talking. By around 2 children should be forming two word utterances and expanding from there. Check ins with your pediatrician would be great as well as looking into your state/area’s early intervention programs which will target speech therapy.
