Hi Jessica, was in similar situation as you before. Went to polyclinic for the routine checkup, mentioned the concerns and got referred to KKH dept of Child development. Diagnosed with slight speech delay and was given appts for speech therapy where children and assessed at the sessions and caregivers are taught techniques to guide your child. I also found out about an online program called Geminii, its actually targeted at autistic, non/low-verbal/speech delay children but it seemed to really work for my kid too. Google it and give it a try, there is a short free trial period. Early intervention is so important as there is a short window of opportunity to address the situation and caregivers need to learn how to help the child to learn.
