As an SLP, this is one of the most common referral patterns I see. If you're counting words and feeling worried, a speech-language pathology assessment is always a good place to start. And while you're waiting, our free guide "My Toddler Isn't Talking Yet" and our Let's Get Talking program give families something concrete to do at home. Both are linked in our bio.
