A member asked:
Should we get our daughter tested for speech delay? she is 26 months, has about 75 words and is speaking 2-4 word sentences with the ones she has.

Sounds normal: If she qualifies as high risk as a former premi or other category there may be a early childhood program that will screen her for free. After age 3, the public schools operate Child Find programs to identify such kids. Only half of what she says should be understood by strangers at 2. What you describe is not worrisome, but there are resources out there.
