I know how you feel.my son is 5 and still not talking or signing.I've been waiting for someone to throw me a bone.I was told to try baby Einstein flash cards-I'll let you know how it works

Maybe you have been doing this already but I find making big movements help my son. For instance I take a ball and touch my moth woth it and say ball. H edoes the same. I also let my son watch DVD's of Semame street and when we watch it together I what for whateveverbal sound he might make and try to turn that into a word. Like when they are doing the alpha bet and Tell is jumping for the letter J my son tries to move and says a cha,cccha, I say yes, j...Juump and I make the movement too. Also, I've heard and seen him in the mirror( I have a long mirror nailed to the wall at eye level so he can see himself) going lalylalylaly with his tong and Burt and Earnie do a song about singing lalal for the letter L so I look right at him and show him my tong and sing that lalala song. I've done this while he is in his high chair as well.
So, I hve no idea if this even helps you cause you may be doing those things already. But I just try to take any verbal que he gives me and make it into something.

It's me again and I just re read my email. Poop there are a lot of typos!!!! I hope you can even understand it!!! See, I can't even talk myself. Yikes! :)
