Almost 3-years old and still not talking...

Tweet

My daughter will be 3 in October, as of now she does not talk in those short 3 word sentances that the doctors ask you about as they turn 2-years old for their developmental mile-stones. I have had people tell me to get her hearing checked because if they have any hear loss that can cuase the child to not pick up on the words. I was very concerned, I took her to the doctor to have them evaluate her. They checked her hearing perfact, checked inside her ears they are clean. They referred her to a speach theropist; however, there is a 2 month waiting list. I remember when I was pregnant with her the ultra sound should she had a cyst in her brain, they told me not to worry that often times it desolves on its own by the third trimester...it wasn't there on the thired trymester ultra sound; that was a relief. However, I wonder if that cyst could of had an effect on her speach. I did bring it up to the doctor but they said no because she is progressing normally with everything else. Could it be possible that the cyst may have caused some damage to a nerve used for talking? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can work with her. Since she not talking or communication I can't even potty train her because she will not pay attention to me when I talk to her. Sometimes I don't think she understand what I am saying. She will start to scream and throw a fit and I don't know what she wants, and when I try to give her something she screams louder and hits it away...All I can say is it is driving me crazy..
