You can start with her pediatrician and have them refer you to early intervention for speech therapy .

My son had the similar issue, early intervention helps, limit the screen time, my son is almost 4 and still struggles. He goes to pre k. I am using photos for him to make him talk now. You need to force her to talk, book reading also helps

My son goes to speech therapy and we have seen a little bit of improvement, but not very much. He has been going since he was 18m and he will be 22m on the 27th. There is no way that you can force your child to talk so doing speech therapy will be your best bet.

I had speech therapy when I was a child and so did my daughter . So I always view it as a good thing for the kids to get help early. I had a friend that I recognized that her daughter needed some speech intervention . She got upset with me, and never got the help. She was in 2 or 3 grade by the time she started getting help . She struggled for years through school . She told me last year, she wish she would of listened and got the help

At first I was worried about my son talking and I started to do small things with him that helped like saying what we’re doing and ask lesss questions as this usually results in yes and no response. For example if we're going outside I would say things like open door before opening the door, close door before doing the action. Walk walk walk while walking. If he wants something before giving it I would say next time you want something stay help please. Or if his wiping the counter I would say wipe wipe wipe. Essentiallt repeating actions he does. If he has a ball I would say ball. Then after add words to it like green ball, kick ball, throw ball. If I turn off the light I would say light off. If I pick him up I would say mummy pick zavi up. I also used lots of actions when I did. So when I say mummy pick zavi up I would put mt hands up to mimick what I'm going to do. Kids learn by micmicking our actions and doing these things helped me see a massive difference in my sons words.

Thank you

1 hour of ms Rachel a day and it should be 3 to 2 hours before nap time. Not right before a nap time. Also the books that you press and it reads the words. At this age it’s beneficial for them to have 1 hour of quality educational videos. You can also sing the songs Ms Rachel sings my toddler is 1.22 y/o and knows all the songs all her rhymes recognized number can count to 30. Recognizes words and it’s all thanks to my digital co parent Ms Rachel. He also loves to sing but definitely consult the pediatrician because there could be a developmental delay that can be treated. Ms Rachel also has a test for baby’s that tells you where they are in their development based on how many words or actions she can complete. However repetition is key. And this is all evidence based!
